Master or Servant

Fri, 04/29/2016 - 14:50 -- Yonko

Fire, Fire, Fire,To destroy is up to youTo burn is up to you,To teach is up to you,To serve is up to you,To cook is up to you,To guide is up to you, Will you be the servant or the master? Water, Water , WaterBeautiful you are,Mysterious you are,Dangerous you are,full of death you areFull of adventure you are,Full of life you are,Everywhere you are,Will you be the servant or the master? Wind, Wind, Wind,I feel you yet i do not see you,When my house was blown away,Someone's windmill had quite the way,As buildings sway,Many are in dismay,Children cannot play,None but you has their way,The clothes they dry,The breeze is fresh,Will you be the servant or the master? Earth, Earth, Earth,So as you come from dust so you shall return,From dust to dust,From ashes to ashes,Life you give,Life you take,Food you give,Food you take,Foundation you give,Foundation you take,Minerals you give,Minerals you take,Do we take more than we give?Or do you take more than you give?Will you be the servant or the master?
