AS WELL IT SHOULD

There is a tiny little bug

crawling on my screen...

not even a millimeter long.

Just think about this little

spark of life with all those

desires for food and safety

and sex... It has six tiny legs,

and knees, and ankles,

little bitty eyes, it's all there!

When I put the tip of my finger

in its way, it runs away in terror.

bug: there I was whistling zippy-do-da, when...
finger: whoa there little fella, you're blocking my view
bug: this massive blob of pinkishness blocks my path
finger: go away, I can't read this poem if you're in the way.
bug: danger! danger! big pinkish blob, big pinkish blob is chasing me !! HELP!!
S P L A T!!!! er... I know... but... but... little fella was in the way.

We humans think we are the only living things to occupy this world. The rest should just 'bugger' off. (pun intended)

I just marvel at the intricacies of creation... I am in no whit more alive than a millimeter of tiny beetle crossing this bright new world it had just discovered.

Very true, I often stop and observe and wonder about life of these little creatures...
Amazing how life is, everything interlinks in this world, with its desires etc.

Amy R, thank you,
We all breathe the same air, but not everyone cares, I pity those poor souls made of concrete and steel.

a powerful observation. we think insects are a nuisance, but if you think about it, they have a lot in common with us.

When you marvel at what all went into the construction of this and all the mechanical intricacies, then add actual LIFE to its existence,.. I think I must acknowledge aa creator rather than random assembledges of molecules, I don't care how long ago.

The other bugs are jealous of it. They only have 4 legs and can't find the screen at all even with more eyes. :)))

If one were to inspect the insect world, they'd probably be amazed at the complexity of something so small.

I think they have... and we ARE!

Well, call me old fashioned, but seeing as we're so near Helloween I was sure it was gonna end in a SSPPLLLAAAT!
My head is hung! Oh the same, the shame! 😃

[Vol]

Lorry,
Just think of the POWER we have! I read once that when we walk across a field, we smash eleven spiders with every fooffall... Like Godzilla strolling through Tokyo...

[Lorry]

Well, good! I mean, I'll try not to do that, seeing as I'm in their territory, but if they rock up to my house, there'll be spider smash aplenty!
Creepy alien freaks! Or is that us? 😃

[Vol]

Well, sounds like Douglas Adams' Golgafrinchans might have some basis in truth... We ARE the freaks! We ARE the aliens. we are also useless. How else can you explain such weird concepts as politica and religion?
