The grasshopper lies heavy on a single blade
It bends with its weight
Swaying in the breeze
As the grasshopper rubs its knees
The forest listens to the grasshopper’s screams
As moon beams seep through the trees
The ants watch as the grasshoppers graze
A plague upon the land
Moving on when all is gone
Yet, the ants must remain
The grasshopper says they’re to blame for the destruction
The grasshoppers revel in the fallacy of their constructed reality
Sweeping every ant hill
From sea to sea
To satisfy their greed
