Neither Do I Need a Witness

Blue needs no charter to marble the veins.
Green needs no ocean garner its name.
Night needs no favour and weather no shame.
Storms need no shoulders to carry their rain.
So neither do I need a witness to nod and agree.
If I see they mountains, they must see me.
The earls need titles, pastors need men.
Authors need stories more than stories need them.
Nations need children to rise and defend
And statues an pledges and anthems, I guess.
So neither do I need a witness or a reason to please.
If I see they mountains, they must see me.
If proof is as much of a blanket as naked belief.
If I see they mountains, they must see me.
