The cockroach
go on
you can squish me
but your greatest weapons
and your best technology wont

Great to have a crack at the hubris of our instinctual revulsion at something which seems to be tougher and more resilient than we are as a creature.
Excellent in it's simplicity, clever in theme.
Great poem.
