Legislative Insects In Green Suits

Legislative insects in green suits Gather in numbers every season Mind bent to threaten green plants With laws to effect extinction The farmer they seasonally threaten As usual is wiser and quicker in action He collects green leaves and twigs Into huge buckets he places them One by one he gathers legislative insects Puts them in the pond of green feeds Excited, the insets eat all feeds and starve Starved and weak, they eat one another On inspection day he comes puffed up Who is wiser, quicker, smarter in action? Who gets the raw deal; who has the story? Now tell me, who is the king of kings? Helpless and hopeless legislators, bow Kneel and ask the farmer for pardon In heart they know green suit is for eating In public they confess the farmer is traitor
