There is a world with land so vast
That all may enter; none may pass
A world so free, with land so pure
And food aplenty, no need to store
Into this land came Hebzucht of bad breed
Who viewed this land with growing greed
"I could grow wealthy, rich and fat,"
He told himself as in comfort he sat
"I'll build a wall, then charge a fee,
So none can come without paying me."
And so he started to build his wall
A wall so thick and wide and tall
A wall the likes no one had seen
To compliment his evil scheme
And those who visited the land
Would stop and gawk and look and stand
"Who is that fool?" they asked each other
Looking around at friend and brother
"Why would he build that silly wall?"
No one could answer this question so small
For in his haste to feed his greed,
In his rush to complete the deed
He failed to notice a simple fact;
He required a fix that his evil plan lacked
The shadow cast by his growing wall
Killed all beneath; there was nothing at all!
The trees were shriveled; the rivers ran dry
Strangled from life by this new wall so high
Nothing remained when the wall was complete,
Forcing its builder to admit defeat.
Now children are warned when they're young to beware
They'll lose just like Hebzucht if they refuse to share!
