Does thy seek thy meat from God?

Do Seek Their Meat From God

Like the night beasts lay still

hidden from oblivious prey

silent and still, waiting

searching for their meat from God

Like the day men pierce through the forest

Hunting, weapons raised

resolute and with purpose

Seeking out their meat from God

Both man and beast

Like day and night

Seek to win the world from others

But there are only 24 hours in a day

In a village among the trees

A baby child wails in hunger

His father out, his mother tending

No soothing can cure starvation

Hidden like it's builders a den

Holding a small pining cub

Alone, it's cries upon deaf ears

Hope cannot feed hunger

With haste, both parties must not delay

Else they wish their youth with death

In which both parties must compete

And fight for favor in God's will

But if and when the dawn arises

The youngsters weaken and tear

By no fault of theirs, but all for naught

In which one will not live the night
