Lushly, planned, large yeilds;
Bugs frantically seeking shields
As farmers plant the hayfields.

Dreads dawn; enmeshes.

Homeless victims feel the blights.

Beyond the infinite
Containing a definite

Machine Guns

Allied forces lie down flat.
Strong, brave, ready for combat.

Distant screams Rat-a-tat-tat.
