Midwest Law

Here on the plain
Where sky and clouds
Negotiate their deals
On a daily basis with the farms
The farmers are just witnesses
To the justice Jesus brings
Their crops a strange currency
That cannot bribe judge or jury
And suffer retribution
In drought and deep in frost
Summer is sometimes succor
But it too can be swept away
When something else is hidden in the wind
