A Colony of Giants
What is the lesson?
Transformed by radiation’s burn,
nature has a message to send.
A colony of giant ants learn
To teach a harsh lesson to the humans.
Chernobyl made a mess
No human lives near by
To clean it up they did their best
Still many people died
In our radio active home of dread,
we were mercilessly attacked,
but the colony had already spread-
too late to stop this dark fact.
Where do we loom?
Can they find us all?
We are coming soon-
What is next to fall?
How do you stop us,
If you don’t know where we are?
While your plans you discuss,
we will spread near and far.
So if you are investigating
Something odd you think,
While people are debating,
We will push you to the brink.
