What do you think this poem is about?

Breath

Standing above all earth
means ruling over all breath,
many breath rule over all breath
through their sweat
they rule all earth

There are so many breath
ruling over many breath
They tend to make their breath
useless, when they don't
provide what will make their breath
useful to all earth

many times in my life i tend
to take a deep breath
when i realize that so many breath
are made useless because of the breath
of heartless breath.
