Two black rats navigating across
A complex network of dirt roads
Transcend the nature trails
And many vast oceans
Seek a new place to burrow
Carrying the final evidence
Of a bygone life
Searching for a homestead
A place to rest awhile
Where they can once again rebuild
Free from the exterminations
Of their haunted past
Where they can breed
Where they can prosper
And spread disease to the native
The population who stands in their way
And who feeds their reward
To build new statues
Dedicated to many great pests
To carve this world into their likeness
To sharpen their teeth and claws
Overwhelm the foreigners
On their own soil
And reshape the rest
