Grasshopper Famous

I see you there grasshopper, you're famous, don't you know, Often when spied on thickets, mistaken for crickets, but no more, you've made yourself quite clear, You appear in dreams, "Freedom, independence, enlightenment, inability to settle down, So it seems, Your family's ancestors come from the early Triassic, roughly back 250 million years ago, John the Baptist ate locusts, wild honey too, Still people denied you, False claims, YOU, A vegetarian food, HA! ignorant of truth, Blinded to the fact that ἀκρίδες means plenty of you, So bask in the sun, feeling heat, acceleration of heart rate, watching with your 5 eyes, When a spider comes along, you can be ready to run, shall I say ready to lunge.

Notes

People attempted to explain that the locusts were in fact a suitably ascetic vegetarian food such as carob beans, notwithstanding the fact that the word ἀκρίδες means plainly grasshoppers.

Greek: "ἀκρίδες καὶ μέλι ἄγριον, akrídes kaì méli ágrion."
