Poem: The Invisible Death
2 min readSep 19, 2020
Inspired by observations of ants and their habitat.
The metropolis is quaking,
All the ants are gone,
Scouts are falling by the minute,
The mystery terror still not gone. The invisible death,
Fells the insects,
Some are gone,
The others staying,
The forensic insects can't find the terror,
That they have longed. An ant picks it up,
But is killed a moment later,
Oh, what shall we do now,
The lady is waiting.
Oh, thy zen and roses,
We are bitten alone.
Summary: The scouts refers to a type of ants in the ant colony (metropolis) like the worker ants. The ants are dying and no one knows why? Some insects are dead while some stay, the forensics department guys (in the insect world) can’t figure out what it is that are killing ants. An ant picks up the scent but dies immediately after that. (it could be the aerosol or air borne that was killing all the ants). Queen(lady) ant is waiting and worried for its nourishment. All ants are trying their best to keep calm (zen and roses) when they are terrorized that they were all targeted mysteriously.
