LEAVE ME ALONE

Long lines gracefully down the hill

small round holes with water they fill

Mulching surface granular to crumb

Tilth above all, second to none.

For so long left to grow

Flourishing prairies--churning horizons below

Humus building and left unheeded

Humans unaware of these soils they needed

Today with fossil fuels and steel

Surfaces levelled--not left to heal

Annually crops are sown to yield

In this Anthropogenic unrecognizable field

For decades now our crops it's grown

Reworked, tilled, annually sown

Echoes from cracks source unknown

Cries from below, "leave us alone"
