Respect The Yellow Jackets

 
Long grass tall and green
needing a trim, a circumcision
Hiding beneath the ground
invisible to the naked eye
A lair beneath soil
productive and growing
undisturbed nestled in earth
tread lightly above

Man pulls out a mega trimmer
combustion engine fueled
an extension of masculinity
meant to get the job done

black and yellow uniform
soldiers of honor
protecting this piece of utopia
knighted by the queen
her only law to protect
be honorable, and loyal
death is permitted
for the good of the species

Fierce noise, war machine
blades spinning
apocalyptic tornado
spreading demise and loss

defending their turf
piercing needles armed
poison injected fully
into the skin of man
this species, veteran tribe
self-independant
abides only by the rules
that is called nature

human in the hospital
licking wounds, of shame
one question remains
who was wrong or right?

his brain utters…
Respect the yellow jackets!!
