It is with complete , merciless impunity
that all your thick concrete immunity
will be pierced , perforated and infiltered
Every day ,your abode invaded
Ants will bore holes
Into rusting iron poles
Concrete walls and roofs
There are no forest proofs
Nature comes silently
creeps in slealthily
while you slept
last rain soaked night
A pink tree amphibian
You'd never before seen ,
Nor will again ever possibly
darts quite simply, nimbly
Up slippery, sanitised tiled walls
Spray pesticides , keep moth balls
Army of ants will
march on still
Termites grow in snaky flocks
on limestone painted panels
Varnished woodwork ,
chemical soaked flannels
Fungal patches , musty odors
penetrate
Your precious uniforms /attires
insensate
You must remember
who belongs here
Not you but they
snakes , rats , fungi
You are trespassing
into their homes
chopping trees , spraying
poisonous fumes
They are just claiming
what was theirs , drums beating
marching , they are coming
you just need a pair of ears
to hear .
