Andrew Stonean ant would crawl on my desk
tempted by fate to seek food
and with a few crumbs in view
it scurries on with finessethe ant would wonder and ponder
what to do and how to go about
bringing home this tasty treat
to share with those withoutthere are many ways to take
and several paths to avoid
such as the old spider’s lair
lurking around the cornerdespite the ant’s careful planning
it remained unaware of my presence
and with a swift pressure of my thumb
it was relieved of it’s existencethe ant was sad for it tried it’s best
yet no amount of planning would help
for there are always higher forces
who are on a much different questVoting is closed
Andrew, we often have a one-track mind when it comes to our tasks and day-to-day lives, but there are always going to be others who will squish us to meet their own needs. Unfortunately, this is a part of life. No matter how well we plan, there are always going to be unforeseen circumstances. I love how honest you are! Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for reading! I’m glad you picked up on my intentions, I enjoy writing abstractly but sometimes think I become too abstract in the end.

I find it fascinating, thinking that you know what’s best but then life shows you something else.
