ants dig the hole deeper
and never ask why
never enjoy a single day
or a sunny blue sky
can you
see me
feel me
tell me
if i dig a hole
and never ask why
i must be a ant
under a sunny blue sky

Another way of repeating Henry David Thoreau's observation… "Most men lead lives of quiet desperation." We are all ants with our useless rituals telling us to dig deeper. But we never asked why we are doing it.

With this short poem you have made a very profound point.

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
