Nature’s bounty
nature gives
freely to all
sun that shines
rain that falls
trees grow high
flowers bloom
bees make honey
that fills their hives
of nature’s bounty
each one can share
with one another
that all may have
care for each other
see to their needs
that done do suffer
for that which they need
yet all to not
work equally hard
in providing
for each other’s needs
should their lot then
be just the same
of another who
works not as hard
and if it should then
why should they try
if for their work
there is no reward
no in all fairness
they who do more
should be rewarded
with a greater share
but not to the point then
that for their reward
would cause another
then to have not
of nature’s bounty
all must have part
that of their needs
they will not want
