Pt. I: untitled



A rich man's glass

Is never empty

Never full

Never too heavy

To behold

As he kills for meat

He kills for sport

For ants merely survive

Paper or plastic?

Credit or debit?

Ants will never overflow

For an anthill's never empty

Never full

Just mere surviving meat

A mere surviving sport

Never to live life

To the fullest of the glass

Drowning every animal

Who comes to draw a sip

And as I step upon the anthill

To stomp the fire out

I paint a slow reflection

Upon the frail glass of life

To dive deeper still

Slowly surfacing
