Ambiguous Welfare


Shredding the day with all their dismay
these people who fight just don’t have it right
beautiful trees are swarmed by the bees
yet honey is laid so sting is okayed
look at the cascade and look at the cadaver
one is my right and the other my left
what difference is a tree even in a tornado?
people should smile toward all and the vile
for sugar is sweet but tasty in coco
and coco is bitter but sweeter in sugar
