An Ancient Truth

Deep beneath the seething sea,

Before you, before me,

A war is fought so far from shore,

For life, for existence, wholeheartedly.

 

Each creature fights in its own way,

With speed, or numbers, predator or prey,

They fight so hard through day and night,

To survive, to prosper, to stay.

 

But what is it worth?

Time watches with mirth,

As they leave there mark in defiance.

 

So each niche is found,

The variety unbound,

A war of grand alliance.
