Ants
A billion ants all march'd in line Their Queen doth bruise 'n' bleed them dry For these poor creatures, world stops not And no eyes turn'd when one doth drop. A billion ants all beat 'n' broke Their minds be torn, their souls revoked Be turn'd to slaves and free from trust To feed their monster's greed 'n' lust. A billion ants whom...

A butterfly lights from flower to flower with golden wings, he whiles away each sunny hour. A moth comes out at night, while the world dreams, guided by the light of silvery moonbeams. An ant toils away, working hard for the pack, dressing modestly, he's attired only in black. I try not to judge, as I consider each...

Ever wonder why we giggle How does it actually start What makes it uncontrollable Perhaps it's a silly old fart Giggles are quite intangible You can't buy 'em at the store Worth buckets full of greenbacks Some gold and so much more You're in a state of euphoria You try to stay calm but can't It's a tonic for whatever ails you When ants get in...

The redness remains
The redness from the veins still stains the earth, Bones stripped bare of flesh by ravenous ants, In each of the souls, peace was much in dearth, The redness from the veins still stains the earth, That's what wars do, even before my birth. We humans have brains, yet behave like plants. The redness from the veins still stains the earth, Bones...

Black Ants from Africa
I saw black ants in a big ship After they were taken from the pits (The pits they dug themselves and received schnapps and mirror) They named the pit dungeon And were sent to a small door all at Cape Coast To be on a saviour ship that came to steal, kill and to destroy Were they forced? No, but greedy...

Premium Member SEASONS SUMMER WORKING AUTUMN ANTS-
Solely the summer’s heat dissipates, Temperatures at night cooling daily; The promises of the ants to gather, Gatherings awaits the time that so last Tunneling burrows interphases space; Burrowing systems of storage down, down, down, down, down, burrowing storing livelihood; Pasting all climate changes summer speaks To fall amidst the season flow floating; Flowing as summer turns to fall labor...

The Ants Go Marching
It isn't easy to save the world With your back on the asphalt Crawling with carpenter ants that Yes even they Want you out of the way I'd head home to the building with no AC Bring my friends back with A trail of sugar cubes But I tried it Even the insects won't go inside it I think I'll close my eyes, here...
