Analysis of Andon Andon

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



Consider now the way of life
And what you really need.
Lift up your eyes and look around;
Get off your feeble knees.
The trees and animals work together;
To provide for each ones needs.
The trees produce the air they breathe
And all the fruit they eat.
The animals just fertilize;
And scatter all their seeds.
And so, the next generation;
And on and on and on.
They live in peace through all the storms!
The weak live with the strong.
