Boomerang
Master-termites invaded
friendly neighbors
logs, leaves, fruits, seeds
they carried away to nests
they parked in bags
and stored in bans all loot
Seeds germinated all over
as destroyed land starved
“we go check for food
at our invaders’ homes,
something we can get to eat
all termites sharpened teeth
invaders’ territories were taken
food store occupied
and eaten empty
Master-termites fled
as their actions on neighbors
had bitter boomerang
