So peacefully camouflaged
Safe from most predators
In a world so harsh
Surrounded by such horrors
Can offer no comfort
Still in danger
Still hiding behind changing guises.
A vulnerable target in a world so cold.

All the world walk by,
Targets on their backs
Each to their own
Each susceptible to different foes
Wounded by others ignorance.
Closer to home,
Small incidents leave craters below
Effect the common man more
Global bomb shells go unnoticed.

The chameleon differs
Every intention paid to the outer world
For this, the only way to survive
An example to be learnt
In a survival of the fittest environment
Adaptation, assimilation, hiding in the shadows,
The only way to live.

The basking chameleon
So peacefully camouflaged
Safe from most predators
In a world so harsh
Surrounded by such horrors
Can offer no comfort
Still in danger
Still hiding behind changing guises.
A vulnerable target in a world so cold.

All the world walk by,
Targets on their backs
Each to their own
Each susceptible to different foes
Wounded by others ignorance.
Closer to home,
Small incidents leave craters below
Effect the common man more
Global bomb shells go unnoticed.

The chameleon differs
Every intention paid to the outer world
For this, the only way to survive
An example to be learnt
In a survival of the fittest environment
Adaptation, assimilation, hiding in the shadows,
The only way to live.
