Pray for Us All

Preying Mantis prays,

Asking for his meal today.

Showing reverence.

Butterfly flutters,

Seeking nectar, sweet and pure.

Fine perseverance.

Brother bees buzzing,

The Moths, butterfly's cousins,

No interference.

Grasshopper hopping,

Hopes the poisoning's stopping.

Such an abhorrence.

Our prayers with you,

Lonely Mantis friend, so blue.

Accept our penance.
