The Green Army
The green army is approaching
soldiers armed with sharp blades
their ebony armor merges with the night
scouts have breached the perimeter
they built tunnels for navigation
paratroopers float unseen into our midst
chemical warfare for the red sea
The green army is relentless
trained by predators from another era
thriving beneath the summer sun
instinct is the ultimate weapon
fear is blinded by purpose
the only escape is to the north
where the climate is your defense
The green army takes no prisoners
the earth consumes the survivors
trim the hedges, weed the gardens
vaccinate, purify, exterminate
impose restless order on the chaos
the green army will claim victory
shortly after the last heartbeat ceases
