For The Love Of Bread And Lust Of Salt

Goats ram! Sheep scram!
In the race to stir a blaze in blood
What substance on the walls of the dam
Tastes more divine than moorland’s mud!

From where they learnt to dare it all
A constant kiss of death on the wall
On four firm feet stands defiant belief
They are universe of their belief!

More than hearts it nurtures souls
With a yearning worth a myriad years
Let summer shower smoldering coals
Its faith is unshaken by fears!

Where has not passion taken quest
Of a pilgrim with inborn revolt
Lest the life be an endless conquest
For The Love Of Bread And Lust Of Salt!
