The Cleansing

12 Jun 2010

They scatter like klegetts when we turn our lights on
they see well in the Sun
this is why we wait for night’s cover
to begin the hunt,
when they search for food

We note that they are beginning to feed on themselves
as their numbers diminish and their food supply wanes
we’re not sure when they started here
notations from the last visitors
reflect a pristine oasis
if we are to make this place our home
we must eliminate this useless species
after years of study they are shown to have
only negative impact on their surroundings

In the beginning I felt remorse for these creatures
however, after learning that they have caused the extinction
of numerous species, docile inhabitants,
my remorse has turned to determination
to see them vanquished
and to clear a path for the return to the majestic beauty
that once thrived here


The humans are close to elimination
the cleansing is nearly complete
