High and Mighty But Like the Chloroplast

The light! it outshines, dominates and cannot be captured, is the definition of its glory and pride. But a substance, as little and unseen as it is, captures the light, processes and even converts, so is my victory and testament. The Chloroplast! Aiming at a shot, but had a blast despite the hibernation my doings shout and boast as influence and praise stretch my coast. From east to west spreading so fast like the yeast on an old baked dough. My methods cast upon the waters as they stay afloat and pass the test, this marvels my competitors and keeps them alarmed. The past, having its proclamation of me, "less than a commoner and worse than an outcast". The present protests while the future screams "AVAST!" my new empire, filled with pasteurized milk produced from healthy breasts and sweet scenting red meat well spiced, salted and roasted sums up the efficiency of my hands which have defeated lack until Ice heavys water. At last! In the Island of abundant grapes having supplies of fresh and viscous Honey with vast avenue for pleasures. I stand the greatest. And as mighty and untouchable as I seem. I still dwell like the chloroplast.

Who of us is truly high or mighty? An illusion that will pass like a puff of smoke. Another thought provoking piece. Soup mail me, I wish to learn more about you.
