Seed Number One

........and the angels foresaw
a continuous hunger throughout,
a cessation in the human chain,
a flaw in the propagation
of the species,
 
to the drawing board they went
with their consultants with prolific minds,
botanical ingenuity, prayers, hope, faith, trust,
 
behold a seed, a beautiful seed,
the key to the future of mankind,
the fruits of a laborious dedication,
a well chosen plot to plant it,
a team of the finest Pegasi
to transport it to the site,
pomp and trumpets and horsemen
carrying it on a red velvet cushion
with guards with white gloves
stationed around with spears afixed,
top security, heeded diligence,
 
to meticulously plant it in the ground
with soft hallowed hands,
tears and prayers, faith in God,
then see it running through the darkness
down into the bowls of the earth,
sprouting stalwart fertile roots
to push it upward through the loam,
then upward toward the sun and rain,
a proud pilgrimage to the holy sky,
an astounding metamorphosis,
 
an angel, then a prophesy, a plan,
an experiment, a failure, a new strength,
a finding, a seed, a planting,
a blossoming, a corn stalk,
a multifarious reaction toward
self propagation,
the feeding of humanity
and the preservation of mankind.
All hail to seed number one!
Thanks be to God!
