“The wicked borrows but does not pay back, but the righteous is generous and gives.”
See the mountains
give their wealth away!
Selfless snowbanks
empty into rivers
splashing green on
woodland brown,
song over pebble,
and frolicking fawn,
down to thirsty
furrowed farmland,
through the gluttonous
ungrateful city,
down, down
to the salty sea,
virtuous water
paying back her
mother’s generosity.
