Riddle:
It crushes and grinds as the wheels of time
It sustains, yet its use is taxing
The fool for light or sight does pine,
For only in darnkess be ye wise relaxing

Answer:
A mill. They provide a staple food component, yet the Lord of the manor may well levy a tax on its use. More importantly, a single spark in the air within can cause it to explode violently.

===============
Sorry, pretty lame, but hey.

The poor have it
The rich need it
It is mightier than the gods themselves
But if you ate it, you would surely die.

Answer: Nothing.
