Beetles


Beetles dot the surface of Planet Earth

Their hard, metallic shells glinting

In the scorching sun.

 

The buggies scuttle low on the ground

Which used to be soft soil

Now replaced by solemn stone.

 

They roll with a single destination in mind

Driven with yellow bead-like eyes alight 

Night and day, zipping by in swarms.
