Photosynthesis (1)

Photosynthesis:

"The Sun's radiant energy

Is the prime regenerating source

For all biological life on our planet.

Even while sunburning their skins

Humans and all other mammals

Are unable to take in enough radiant energy

Through their skins

To keep themselves alive.

To circumvent mammals attempting futilely so to do

Nature has invented

The green vegetation on the dry lands,

And the algae in the waters around the Earth's surface.

The vegetation and the algae

Impound the Sun's radiation by photosynthesis

Converting the radiation

Into orderly molecules,

Which provide celestial life's prime energy intake.

The vegetation and algae

Provide metabolic sustenance

Of all manner of creatures,

Some of which can in turn,

Nourish humans.
