The Takeover Seeds Poem by Kesav Venkat Easwaran

You only brought it up,
you only brought it out
It slipped off your hands
before you shaped it up...

As you feigned pain,
as you feigned fear,
as you cried out in sarcasm
they heard, frightened, startled

They all fled in terror
throwing away their fields
You took over all of them
went hiding in your shell...

You blasted all your local fear,
as a whole, down the earth
You remained to watch it spread
as a whole over the earth

As the rain provided some respite,
the fleers returned to their fields
to witness crops to have spurt up
of the hostile takeover seeds...
