The World

The world has a mouth,
That chews and spits and eats,
That sings and talks and kisses.

The world has hands,
That fight and scold and caress,
That paint and dig and kill.

The world has feet,
That walk and run and roll,
That relax and kick and stomp.

The world has a heart,
That beats and pumps and stops,
That races and gives and loves.

The world has a body,
That regulates and nourishes and lives,
That breathes and births and dies.

The world has you.
What can you do?
