Tonight ladies and gentlemen dozing before your TV screen. The static light dancing over your corpulent faces. We bring you the war you waited all your life to see. Broadcast direct from our studio on the South Bank to the centre of your brain live and in glorious stereo vision it’s…THE WAR OF THE ANTS
They weaponized the cordyceps, that burrow down into your brain
You cede control to higher power, that drives you up towards the sky
You sit there waiting for your dreams, until one day your head explodes
Cut to commercial for the latest dispatch from the marketing company that has taken it upon themselves to decide how best for you to live your life. Your life has been planned out in advance as a series of viral campaigns so put down your boron Poindexter, it will not save you now, salvation emanates only from the chrome finished, WiFi enabled, internet of things available directly from…THE WAR OF THE ANTS
You live in fear of fire ants, who see the seed in everything,
To keep themselves out of the mouth, they'd offer Moloch anything.
You wish you ever felt a thing, but cold regret at never was
In a blind panic you stagger out into the street with the sound of our studio band echoing behind you. Dodging the flak from every direction until you trip and stumble into a blind deaf alley. The pain in your head swells as the deformed mutating bone starts to crack and protrude, the toughening of your skin is just your body preparing you for a life of service to THE WAR OF THE ANTS
And if you just took one minute of your sugar sucking lives If you could endure a few moments of the terrifying clarity of reality. You might realise that you outnumber them a million to one but You will never be more than you are. Divided and conquered, vegetating, masticating, fornicating, genuflecting, salivating and never realising that in the war that they are feeding you…YOU ARE THE ANTS
