Remember my WAI with a theme? Well, I'm naming them WAWs (What are We). As with before, they all have a common theme. Name the theme for brownie points.

Now, the first and last stanza are not WAIs, the first do contain clues though. Stanza 2 and the rest (8 in total), each stands for an item/idea in that theme. Some may not be apparent until you figure out the theme.

PS: Some stanzas may seem choppy, but I was playing with the idea since this morning and was eager to get it out of my mind. It was interfering with my other thought processes.

Good luck!

WAW here:

Together we stand,

To bring you joy,

Each member of this little band,

Has a verse in this shocking song.

Note: WAIs start here

The diamond's brother,

A stony flower,

The first likes pyramids,

The next prefers planes and grids.

Another flower,

Destroyer, grower,

You find the largest of us in Africa,

And many more on this terra.

A child of Gaia,

Starts at the heart,

A mantle as the messiah,

A cycle to hit the chart.

Became rich, by and large,

From a humble quarry,

Married with no charge,

Started a vicious circle with great fury,

Lined up on the ray table,

With a '92 and '94 label.

The focusing lenses,

For the eye of heaven,

With mirror in lattices,

To empower the metropolitan.

Unseen to the eye,

Yet farmed where we fly,

The higher the farms lie,

The greater the supply.

A vestige of the past,

By lizards, by and large,

Through millenia they had amassed,

A bore to their discharge,

It obsoletes the mast,

Can we live with its increasing charge?

A mother's heirloom,

Sugar they consume,

They move the negative,

To make you active.

Note: WAIs end here

The end is near,

This is all you'll hear,

Now we ask;

"Name us all, are you up for the task?"

planets, excluding pluto, most likely. mainly because of the one that seems like Uranus (child of Gaea). Then it seemed like #2 could be Venus, as in Venus fly trap, but I'll have to spend more time looking through this riddle before I give a good guess.

Before you spend time on it;

Earth to colorclown26. Planets are off track. Come back down.

Strike. You are correct, my friend. Keep it going. I'll post up all the explanations in one huge post in the end.

So one of them seemed like dinosaursish... which made me wonder if it was fossil fuels or oil. Assuming my previous guess was right, and the first one diamond's bro... is coal? Is the theme energy sources? I hope I'm anywhere close to the right track. I could be way off... and probably am.

That's not a bad idea!

my guess to go with SvenJOLLY's theme, solar energy, sun, solar panels yatty yatta

Which one seemed dinosaurish?

The first one is coal. And you are spot on about the theme!

Solar panels are correct.

Coffee? it matches, i mean it gives you energy

Coal yes. Hydroelectric plants yes. Nuclear yes. Solar yes. Wind yes. Fossil fuels yes. No to batteries and electricity. Wow. This is getting solved pretty fast.

Geothermal energy for child of gaia and possibly bioenergy for the last one?

Geothermal is correct. Bioenergy is the right direction - be more specific.

[Pickett]

not sure how specific you're looking...Biofuels? Biodiesel? Biomass? Basically just fuel that is generated from living, or recently living (typically photosynthetic plants), biological material..

[Guest]

Still no. Try finding something that fits all the lines.

[Guest]

ethanol?

[Guest]

ethanol?

Sorry, still no.

Think biology. All of the answers posted before were power plants/it's fuel. This is the former.

[Guest]

Maybe it's photosynthesis or something else to do with plants and vegetables.

Getting closer.

Not just plant and vegetables. Photosynthesis makes sugar, not eat it.

So looking for a sugar bioenergy power plant thing basically? Hmmm...or maybe I am way off...

Something like that, yes.

Everyone has it.

The theme's already been guesses and it's

Power Plants or Fuels for Energy

[plasmid]

Does it take a plasmid to tell that the last one is

mitochondria?
