Locust

Mildly reclusive, 

A quiet green grasshopper

Chewing in the wings

Like desert flowers

Blooms profusion after rains

A sudden orgy

Plague or bonanza?

Depends on your point of view

Human or locust

Moving plenitude

Devastating whole landscapes

Only fools obstruct

A  natural cycle

Ancient, older than the Bible's

Visitation from an interfering God.
