[ TSC ] Pray!

    
Straight from the Cretacious    
apex predator predates us    
Over our modern kingdom it reins    
Too huge for capture in any man-made cage    
Trampling powerlines, derailing trains    
   
Consuming human flesh in rapacious rampage    
world terrorized by The Deadly Mantis;    
behemoth unleashed by climate change    
Media's gone bananapants over this!    
   
Target acquired in rocket firing range    
Impervious, the exoskeleton!    
What's it gonna take to save the day?    
   
Perhaps this is a battle that can't be won    
and we should get out of the monster's way!
