DAILY NEWS

Inspired by reading the daily news.

As the daily news I was reading,

Here is the story that was leading,

Zombie spider slaves, wasp masters dictating,

Subsidised fake spider skills,

Wasp masters getting their thrills,

I sense an allegory,

Like humanity's history,

Teeming ants in a global rat race,

Pleasing some master's lack of grace,

Same scenario, different day,

Till you retire and fade away,

Who, indeed, are the wasp masters?

Come on, humans, work much faster!

Don't you forget to hurry,

Or wasps will give you some curry!

As the daily news I was reading,

Is there no other news for leading?

Yes, allegory I was perceiving.
