CRITICAL LEVELS

If the horses of your plough pull not together,
then the furrow that you plough will not be straight.
You must a break on the strongest workhorse tether,
for greed doth not a straighter furrow make.
All our monuments the lowliest folk should honour,
for so proud of riches all great nations fail,
for all those folk who live and die in squalor,
but indicates that the greed of fools prevails.
Judge not your progress by your nations might,
lest mightiness leave humble folk behind,
that they do gather famished in the night,
unseen by those great leaders who are blind.
Jesus Christ you know was born a King,
but when he died he did not own a thing.
