The Nest

Saw them gathering sticks from the ground
by the thicket while assembling a nest.
On alert for any lingering threats.
Building frantically without rest.
Walls grew dense and blocked out the sun.
Caving in everyone.
Darkness fell wiped out a once joyous tone.
Then famished, like possessed ended up eating their own.
Saw them gathering sticks from the ground
by the thicket while assembling the nest.
