The Food That Fell From Heaven

[mort_chud]

the animals had fled or died.
the birds had flown.
the crops had fried.
one hundred humans faced starvation.
very old and young perspired.
and then the Lord sent down that manna.
holy manna from the sky.
enough to feed to every child.
heal the wounds and grout the tiles.
polish shoes and freshen fabrics.
holy manna heaped in piles.
the animals had fled or died.
the sun had burned the crops and fried
one hundred humans.
dehydration hit and young and old expired.
