How many rocks

How many rocks can one hold
when bread
is free and butter sold

Who brought the colours
that mixed up
both priest and pauper in a submissive blow

Only one rock will a beggar throw
to free
his hands for the bread
that glows

Overthrow if you can occupy
still the rocks will come and
go

How many rocks can one hold?
