Shape tha earth
Shape tha earth
Shape tha earth
Shape tha earth to catch the rain • store it in the soil
Water molds dirt into trees • later be-comes oil

Observe the nest • the natural order of the land
How water curves and manifests • into plants from sand
Dig swales and wait • for land to evolve
Water grasses flowers • birds frogs dogs

Swales trenches grate • store water on a slope
Roots dig penetrate • with soil they elope
Net is like a fish net • dug in-between the trees
Pan is like a quarter moon • may be made of cheese

Bunds r swales above the ground • made in to footpath
Rain makes the sound • of sunken garden bath
Swale down, bund up • both ways rain stays
Dirt shaped earthen cup • a chalice for sun rays

Shape the erf to catch the rain rain rain rain
And store it in the soil soil soil soil
Water molds dirt into trees trees trees trees
Then later be-comes oil oil oil oil

Terrace stairs on slopes • about a meter wide
Roots digg’in hopes • plant grows to sky
Ponds good for wildlife • and storing water too
Home to fish n all things bright • quite natural brew

Clay is good if there’s enough • maybe it will hold
Add poop n bentonite • pigs make mold
Concrete rings stack em tall • one to bout five high
400 liter half-meter • radii height pi

Ferro powder • sand rods woven mesh
Bend mix the chowder • apply to silver flesh
Gabions are metal cages • filled with bulky rocks
Sit like human sages • and are set in place like blocks

Shape the erf to catch the rain and store it in the soil
Water molds dirt into trees then later be-comes oil
Shape tha erf
Shape tha
Shape, Shape, Shape

Average human step • paver to paver ya put
65 centimeter • from foot to foot
Drainage ditches • digg’m either side
Fill with gravel n pipe • one foot deep and wide

Road needs foundation • To be done well
Big smaller gravel dirt • Tire rollin accel
Fence, let folk multiply • Grow n exponentify
Harmonize stratify • Keep the chicken from the rye

Shape the erf to catch the rain and store it in the soil
Water molds dirt into trees then later be-comes oil
Good to do first early on, so the land can soak
Then stick around millennia, watch oil melt from oak 

Good to do first early on, on on on
…..so the land can soak soak soak soak
Then stick around millennia, lennia lennia lennia lennia
…watch oil melt from oak oak oak oak
