Ants

Follow a scent trail of what we're ordered until it becomes habit
Swallow rules without question, stomach what we're told
Life sacrificed for a greater number, individuals matter little
How similar is it, that people dance?

[Ern M. Yoshimoto]

that last word dance was ingenious. what comes to mind is the goose-step, something that is supposed to symbolize uniformity and power, but really, it looks a bit silly, doesn't it? these days as so-called democracies are marching towards a new age of totalitarianism and a repetition of history, one can not help but feel powerless as they look on in horror.

[Jeyanthi]

Only music can do that...
I marched on school days...
Now marching behind my kids...
Ppl intend to do what they are really intented... we see at as 'no motive' but it was formed over the peroid of time "the motives"...

Your thoughts and poems: makes me reflect on how I see others...
