Deadly red fate

Red bodies emerge with black wings,
Orange eyes appear warm.
Mass bugs begin to suck on adults,

Enduring ceremonial hell.
Remains tangle along the rioters.
Easing off their deadly siege,

Men and women call seafarers.
Humanitarian Ships flowing ashore.
Fate moved by the sea; they return home.
