THE WORMS
Without eyes to see or ears to hear
The worms have only hunger.
They have a single purpose
To gorge themselves on plunder.
You think they care if they destroy
What others gave their lives to build?
Or that they respect the flesh they eat?…
Now – watch them take their fill.
Without logic, without love,
The worms will simply eat.
When all is fallen and consumed
Their work is now complete.
All worms are not beneath the soil.
In our midst, they will despoil
What is good and what is fine,
What is true, what is divine.
Don’t seek to reason with the worms,
It is a futile task
– Just decide if you will fight –
Or be consumed at last!
