For we are Legion

We march, for we are many legion
We care not for the pains of death or season
Our intent has but one single solitary mission
To bend you all to our inevitable submission

Do not dare to fight, or stand in our relentless path
We put out the coals in your life’s pathetic hearth
We are fearless, our quest never undiminished
For what we start we will surely always finish

We have no single mind for we are a collective
We have no friends we remain non selective
Our only aim is to secure our future young
We saviour your retreat once we have begun

We are not cruel we treat all the same
Death to everything that it is our only aim
Can you not hear us, feel our numbing sting
To us your cries of demise are a hollow ring

Do not dare resist in any way, to live, take flight
For you are mere fodder, we protect our right
We do not hear your deathly screams or rants
For we are legion, for we are soldier ants

Hi, trurorob,
The lines Can you not hear us, feel our numbing sting To us your cries of demise are a hollow ring certainly set the stage for the deathly screams or rants. Enjoyed the rhyming, too.

Amazing social creatures, the ants. We don't fit their structure very well. A tale well told and, as you said, a tale of realism. Bravo! cheers

We have no single mind for we are a collective
We have no friends we remain non selective


brilliant write Rob!
and to the queen they honored. Such instinct, and a complex ordered matrix.
