Poem Title:
Poem
What splendid creatures God has formed. I think of whales who swim above the silt, giants of the sea that are cruelly harmed, harpooned from life by men without guilt. An industrious creature God has made in the miniscule form of the worker ant, hustlers gathering, never rest in the shade while lazy people complain in angry rant. What grievances men perpetually bemoan with their fingers ever stretched for a handout. In line for freebies while holding a new cell phone, taking what they can; that's what they're about. No notion or thought that giving is the better way. We're the greediest animals this planet has ever seen. Whales could easily crush the biggest ship in the bay, and ants are busy keeping their home safe and clean. Is there some lesson to be learned from ant and whale? They lack free will and we can't hear what they speak. Ants and whales commit no crimes sending them to jail. Is it no wonder then, the future of mankind is so bleak? Land is man's home, but we invade the depths of the sea where whales swim and feed exactly where they should be. What fear would mankind have if it had been God's decree to let whales come ashore to roam among you and me? What thought do we give for stepping upon little ants? Even the red ones don't bother us until we annoy them. If those insects took revenge and crawled up our pants, would we have new respect and avoid living in mayhem? You might think my words are ridiculous suppositions but take a moment for some serious contemplations. Whales don't hunt us; ants live in underground conditions. Doesn't that make us a world of aggressive nations?
