Sharing Sea-Bounty
Nourished with sea-bounty’s great sustenance
They boasted about grand pearls’ elegance
Yet, their grievous greediness
Put an end to their richness…
Humbled, they prayed for sea life’s abundance.*
As sea farers of water endurance
They can’t hide their aquatic arrogance
But, warned against selfishness
They boomed in their shell business
Now, sharing much for marine maintenance.
*2Chronicles 32:29 Moreover he provided him cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance: for God had given him substance very much.
