A/N
A short poem I came up with ages ago, partly inspired by Halsey's outline of the Covenant species in The Fall of Reach and partly inspired the recesses of the mind reserved for lunacy.

Grunts,
The waddle in their step
Signifies the start of a new day
At least until they're pounded
In order to save ammo.
...
Jackals,
A menacing tide of slender snouts
Stand side by side
Shields raised
Making themselves easy targets for grenades.
...
Hunters,
Clad in steel,
Always in battle with its identical brother
And thus easily taken out
By a rocket.
...
Brutes,
Covered in hair
Our fellow primates
We extend our hands in friendship
Only to break their wrists.
...
Drones,
Two feeble wings,
A chitanous body shines
Revealing nothing more than
An overgrown locust.
...
Elites,
Screaming in what they call devotion
Their hubris causes them to fall
Dead on the ground
Breathing out of another hole.
