Of Heroes & Ants
warning: an opinion on politics
No one is coming to save us from these Super Villains -
Our tiny lives being picked off
One by one, under their false claims
Of “waste” and “fraud”…
Is it wasteful to provide a child’s lunch?
Wasteful to push forward on life saving
Cancer treatment’s research & funds?
Is it fraud to inquire, just exactly where
$45 million for a parade is coming from?
No - and so, we will rise together
A tidal wave of resistance
Before a 1% minority -
We must overwhelm them
With our sickening “dis-ease”
Silencing such lies with
An overwhelming cacophony -
Our angry voices
Louder than comprehension
Stronger than their screams -
We must become a thunderous roar
Shaking the very foundations
Of what this country stands for -
Toppling selfish frivolities
Of such greedily bloated beasts.
Because everyone knows that
An elephant is defenseless against
An infinite army of furiously
Determined, savage little fire ants.
Each one of them so small -
Who alone could never demolish
Such a brutal monstrosity -
But their sheer numbers
Can pick the flesh clean
From an enormous enemy
Turning a living creature
Into a magnificent feast
For themselves & for the children
Of their colonies.
