Saw them gathering sticks from the ground

By the thicket while assembling a nest

 

On alert for any lingering threat

Building frantically without rest

 

Walls grew dense

and blocked out the sun

Caving in everyone

 

Darkness fell

wiped a once joyous tone

Then famished

like possessed ended eating their own

 

Saw them gathering

sticks from the ground

By the thicket

while assembling the nest
