Save Some, Eat Some

Folly consumes all its harvest

And tomorrow exists

Ant stores more than desire

And winter is welcome

Locust plucks out every leaf

And summer is around

Farmer keeps a fountain

And famine stays at bay

Ignorance utters every word

And the wall has ears

Knowledge employs time

And its stage will come

Folly holds on to wind

And space is open

Ant cycles on history

And hill country beckons

Excuse likes easy road

And traffic is constant

Work loves the faith

And rest is comely

Penury fights against water

And thirst is present

Prudence creates shelter

And mercy speak volumes
