Planetary Hardening

The bellow came from the fiend and the assault subsides
They all remain frozen and their skin begins to peel away
The chrysalis revealed as they convulse and splash
In the fleshy remains of those we allowed to be taken away
Those jilted mothers take blades to their shells
An ineffectual act that brings no vengeance
We exchanged glances as we acknowledge our pains
We exchanged glances as we acknowledge our pains
They lie in wait, voracious feeders, on our bodies they sate
Their relentless spread, showed no concern for us; the gainless pests
