Apoleia = Greek word for loss

Apoleia-Phobia Insects walk on six legs but some can fly unless Insecticides take over No bees no honey Spiders spin their net for prey with four plus four You suffer from arachnophobia? Eat mosquitos yourself We see eight on octopuses until they squirt ink Or end up in the freezer Tentacles and food for thought Jellyfish are armed with up to hundred ‘digits' They look like plastic bags Let us blame sea turtles for ingestion Humans have to make do with just two walkers Home erectus but also sapiens? Prosthetic amputated minds? Apoleia the fear of loss seems so mega irrational What has gone wrong in childhood? Angst gone array from what abuse? But ‘luckily’ reason prevails one legged If one survives in Syria and Iraq ‘I hobble therefore I carry on’ Landmines prevent a rightful path and passage Evolution works quite slowly But ‘naturally’ artificial intelligence Will come to the rescue when the rats take over the fall out 05th August 2018
