Why does the mantis choose to pray

There is spirit
And there is courage
How edifying they
Are five eyes
Imagine that
The depth is in the way
The two big eyes are centred
Loving and seeing light
Confounded by the spectrum
Excited at the sight

The effulgence the intensity
Its incandescent glow
As much a luminary
Someone in the know
Able to approach a scene
As lucid as can be
Praying whilst deciding
Through a soul intensity
one ear on his belly
After the high pitched cry
Literally is able
To take the pitch on high

The Bat a resourceful enemy
A flaunting flaring hue
To emblazon and invigorate
As they are want to do
Fantastic pigmentation
The balls of water where
Life is driven intense and vivid
You perceive and are aware
Nothing really phases you
Able to discern
A distinctness and a clarity
You never had to learn
