Cubozoa, Cnidarian Invertebrates
Cubozoa, cnidarian invertebrates
Not the jelly you would put on a plate
This cubed shaped medusae, so potent they are
Once stung you will never move far
Their venom so potent that rarely animals survive
If humans are struck they are in fear for their lives
Once it pumps nematocysts into the skin
Be prepared for the pain to begin
If caught in time this can be addressed
Acetic acid has been found to be best
But to look at this species it's hard to believe
That they can end a life as it no longer breathes
In her nature world has she gone to far
That this beautiful blue, in oceans a star
It all boils down to how oblivious we are
If the truth be told, man is the monster
