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.
