Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 

(Revelation 9:3,4)

---

Out from the smoke, the locusts swarmed the skies,
With scorpion power, fierce and wise.
No green leaf, no tree, no grass they’d mar,
Their sting reserved for men without the sacred scar.

Sealed foreheads marked by divine decree,
Spared from the pain, from the dark misery.
A plague that roams, yet nature stays serene,
Judgment falls where faith remains unseen.
