they steal everything the gilding on the butterfly
half winged (they stole the other wing first)
they steal water and the thirst for it too
from You who creating it only are alive
they steal beehives even when they don't
like honey
sometimes for money or just because they can.
and if they could dear God they would impoverish You
In fact, that's generally the plan
but you laugh in pearls and extinguish the shells
and bring the water up not in a rusty pail
and you are God and I Love you for it.
