No Such Master
What do you see? What do you hear?
What do you feel, what’s coming near?
How does it happen? How does it come?
How does it rise, or fall from the sun?
Where does it live? Where does it sleep?
Where does it feed, on tenderized meat?
Why does it eat? Why does it kill?
Why does it murder, the healthy and ill?
Who is its master? Who is its slave?
Who can resist, the might of the grave?
