If You Can’t Beat ‘Em, Eat ‘Em
scrutinizing . stress invasive like a pest .
wreaking havoc . his once sweet succulent life .
stress . like the blue crab a voracious species .
damaging . sickening . his body a feeble ecosystem .
If you can’t beat ‘em, eat ‘em .
greenlighting poor management tool . the ecosystem falters .
consumption doesn't always offer a straightforward solution .
stress augments . his weight – like blue crab population – propagates .
not familiar with who he’s become . a sight not fit for a mirror .
plaguing the waters tide turned turbulent the blue crab knows it's doing .
consume the crab . now becomes the crab unwelcoming to his well being .
If you can’t beat ‘em, eat ‘em .
impaired by his own travail to eradicate the stress .
scrutinizing . stress invasive like a pest .
wreaking havoc . his now shameful somber life .
stress . like the blue crab man gone gluttonous .
damaging . sickening . his body the ruins of an ecosystem .
If you can’t beat ‘em, eat ‘em .
