WHEN SEASONS CHANGE


If you choose
To sit thereon beyond what is licit
Because your plethora of water lilies
In our loch
Gives you ample whips
To diktat without heart
Those who crossed out your countenance
If you choose  
To deny; feasting with their old chicken
To castrate their weary,
Yellow daffodils
Rightful liberation for them to suffer
What you once endured  
If you choose
To mend all ailment and malady
That transpires in your kraal
And none for our infested store
Because we had given you
None of our blotted finger on cue
If you choose
To disregard your obligation to us all
And. our worthy herald who goes forth
In dried ravines
Pelted with thickets and quagmires
To find spirits for our hamlet,
For our parish
For the endurance of all
You should not denounce
Nor throw stone
When our arid season changes for the better
