RAT ALERT
RAT ALERT
I watched with undivided attention as they scampered into
the cracked walls,
Through the crevices, pipes and metals that had gone rusty
and old.
Their legs trembled from the weight of their grateful
stomachs that had been filled with booty from the rotten spoils of the trash
can.
Two brothers, devoted to each others well being
But wrecking and rummaging through the business of men.
Their beady eyes shone with mischief, for they had no cares
at all.
They sneered from the dark corners they called home
At men who bothered with clothes and technology -Trends and
burdens.
Yesterday brother one scurried below their feet,
Sending chills and stirs through the spines of the bravest
men.
The stink that emanated from their body was their secret
weapon for survival.
I don’t know how long they have lived here,
Under the shadows of this mighty fortress.
But I applaud their bravery!
Little rats who dare to contest with men.
For they too call this fortress home.
