Human Beans Poem by Allan James Saywell

Long long ago
In a land down under
When I a young boy
There was a young friend
Who thought he was a human bean
His mother said he was
She told him he was just a young butter bean
When he grew up he would become a human bean
I asked him would he go to heaven
When you die- - he replied
No a space ship will come
Take me to a land of plenty
Where everybody is full of love
What are you he said
Im just a young human being- -I replied
Who will grow to be an old human being
When I die they will burn me in a furnace
Deposit my ashes in a garden
Then a wind will blow me away
Whereby I will finish up in a field of beans
Then a cow will eat the beans
Then deposit me in a lonely field
Where I will be surrounded by
Lots of other human beings
Sad lonely human beings
