Ants

Tender leaves chewed away by ravaging hordes
flourishing growth cut as plunder taken
leaving naked only vines and chords
Monuments now relics, tumbled forsaken

Waves on legs a never ending tide
No prisoners taken by a pirate god
Stripped and raped the countryside  
Skeletal remains where they\'ve trod

Shadows of all are black a mirror reflection
of their similarity to ours, a violent predilection
Their homes and cities they build
on cleared ground of those they\'ve killed
