Praying Mantis In Dilemma

Praying mantis in their kingdom conceives and lays precious eggs telling the world of insects proudly; “Here the pious ones come in plenty in equal measure thinkers with them we shall built a cathedral for one group and universities for the brain breakers ours shall be double nation of angels holy men and women so prayerful living side by side with professors they shall inhabit the new kingdom.” But all is total dilemma of expectations no egg hatches thinkers every season only monks and hermits of praying mantis whole population is a praying population in prayer they mourn and scream silently as their hope so dear, dire, determinant becomes nothing from age to age prayers, praise, prophecy, piety, prophecy become slogan, motto and identity as other insect kingdoms reason, toil; and become wealthy, powerful and restless and the dilemma lives on with them as they grow and prosper in humility a life of ascetic hopes and patience admired by few in aggressive worlds
