The Giver and The Taker

The Giver and The Taker

A Poem by Da Vinci
"

This Poem was inspired by the bible verse Job 1:21 (The Lord Giveth and He Taketh Away), and I wrote this a few months ago.

"
The wicked earth that spurts out fire
flame and spite.
It giveth life
then taketh life away.

It knows all vice
yet follows all virtue.

It is fruitful
but it makes man barren.

Anyone on earth,
and who borne was birthed,
shall return in death to this one and only earth.
