Benevolent,
With judiciously grave might,
He controls all.
Choosing to disrobe his mysterious cloak,
To let all see his illumines power,
Spreading his warm,
Almighty manna.
Oh but howbeit,
Each day abandoning his kin,
Defining their identities with
Yearning hearts and fasting minds.
With this I say,
Their symbiotic bond unites them,
Animate with inert,
Tied by survival,
Sealed by hope.
