Schistocerca Gregaria

The open dusk squelches

Torch readiness in hand

The roll of an old wave

Teaches steadiness on a dither land

Cicadas follow grounds to blearly for a knave man

Ah yes,

But you get along, carry on

Set foot on their sacred path

Thick haze forces a desert upon you

A blinding white shot down to the very ground

A cruel illusion mastered, you'll never be found

Crippling all five senses try to find your way out

These bugs have fun

Changing scenery, changing route


The voice inside a whisper,

Your thoughts a broken record

          "Focus, remember, push forward"

          "Focus, remember, push forward"

          "Focus, remember, and push forward"

The ultimate goal: To grasp hidden treasure

                                  To command the great find

Sensing a change in weather

Elements morph out of line

Done with their tricks and fix

The swarming buzzing locusts

Become one almighty enchanter

Who vanishes you into the foreign sands

Who has stolen the hood of man kind
