Ant’s life

The ant crawls across the floor,
Dust rises behind him.
He sneezes as he reaches the next floorboard
Dropping the piece of sugar he’d been carrying
For the last four hours.
Angry with himself,
He silently screams with frustration.
He circles this minute particle
Looking for a way to lift this huge block.
Eventually he pushes it onto his back
And resumes his long trek home to Antville.
A floorboard creaks under him
And as he looks up to see the cause,
Big foot ends his life with an instant squish.

Freedom

Don’t you want to sail away with me?
Jump into the waters of the deep blue sea.
At night, we can watch the stars twinkle and glow
Reflecting on the black waters in constant moving flow.
Sail with me to a far off land,
Lie on the lazy beaches, and when you’re lonely, hold my hand.
We can sing and laugh and talk into the night
And gaze dreamily into each others eyes in full moonlight.
I’ll pick fruit and berries and slowly feed them to you,
And we’ll sit on the highest hill looking out at the beautiful view.
So, don’t you want to sail way with me?
Leave this world behind us, so we can be free!
