Most people
have no problem
killing ants
hundreds of them at a time
mass genocide
in a single trigger-finger chemical pump
for no reason
Other than
they are
icky
annoying
“unintelligent”
and most of all
very small
Compared to US
Yet
All an ant asks of US
is but a few tiny crumbs
Crumbs
that can feed hundreds
of icky
annoying
“unintelligent”,
very small
ants
They are not here for our
homes
jobs
T.V.’s
our v-neck sweaters
They are not here for our
women
stock portfolios
small children
our rare beanie babie collections
Most times
you won’t even notice
they are there
So
Next time you look down
and see an
icky
annoying
“unintelligent”
very small
ant
in your kitchen
Ask yourself
What exactly were you going to do
with all those little crumbs
scattered about
that dirty old kitchen floor?
Ask yourself
if you can kill hundreds of ants
with a single finger
for just being
icky
annoying
“unintelligent”
very small
crumb thieves
What else
is that finger
capable
of?
