2020

In 2020, plagues of desert locusts swarm Kenya, Landowners count their vanishing tenure Infestation rates are the highest in 70yrs As they take to the air, the high sun blurs. It's a biblical sight that's affecting- Uganda, Somalia, India, It's a biblical plight that's affecting- Pakistan, Yemen, Ethiopia, It's a biblical parasite affecting- Eritrea, Saudi Arabia, It's a biblical fight that's affecting- Oman, Iran, and as I said Kenya, When these many countries are affected By swarms at once, it is known as a plague. There's little left they haven't ingested. But nymph-offspring wake after 2 weeks pupate. Burrow to the surface in their millions, Making moving roads, black hopping rivers; Eating what's left of crops, thorny thickets. And whatever is left simply withers.
