TIME FOR A CHANGE
I think the world has been controlled by humans for too long. They've dominated this earth since day one. Well, my buddy bees and I have decided we're the ones to change all that. Since all the other animals are being killed and becoming extinct because of humans, we decided to take advantage of the fact that our population is increasing. Killing off those monstrous creatures who live so uncivilized is our number one, top priority goal. If only we could find a way to inject our stingers with acid without killing ourselves, then we could inject these barbaric aliens, and all the insects, mammals, birds, fish and the rest of our nonhuman friends would be able to live free and not have to worry about waking up in a world full of pollution, anger and violence. Humans think that just because they live in houses, eat balanced meals and are able to speak,they can control everything. They think that by coming up with all of this high tech and advanced machinery, they're helping themselves. But they're not. They just get lazier, and lazier and every time they invent something, they kill off all the land and all the thousands and thousands of insects and animals who inhabit the forests they chop down, the seas they dump garbage in and the air they pollute with acid rain and factory smoke. Well, we're not going to take it anymore. We're off to the United States tomorrow because we've got the stingers, we've got the power, and we've got the motivation.
