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
