Ant

Ant

A Poem by zainul
"

Upset by the horror caused by ants that plundered into my computer

"
Ants are moving inside my computer monitor
I feel helpless where to find an exterminator

What the humans have done to the ant community
Why they come in groups to attack our property
Who is responsible to invite this menace
How can we get rid of such penance

Ants plundered our sugar and bread
They damaged clothing by eating thread
They eat flowers and roots of plants in the garden
They carry away food of pets and human
They bite and inject painful formic acid
I wonder why they have so much greed 

I am totally upset by this tiny vermin
It has conspired to stop my writing

ants are to be admired for their communal lifestyle and their strength and intelligence. now, that being said..i worked for a major pest control company for 4 years. here is what to do. go out to the feed and seed or dept store and find something called "terro" ant traps. they will find it, feed on it, take the poison back to the queen and that will destroy the whole colony. that is the only way!!!!

I can completely understand the outrage.. anything that stops writing is horribly bad.. love the flow of this. Great job! Hope you get rid of those pesky ants soon.

so sweet, i loved the lament..... and then this came from a tiny ant.....

but hear Human

we had built anthills
yonder in the forests
had food enough to stomach
still left so much also for others
you destroyed our homes
to build your silly mansions
our source of food you ate
ate less and plundered more
now tell where we go
ah you cant tell
so here we come
still only take what we need
keep all, no we have no greed
so why do you complain
don't kill, let us live
hear O human

Oh my word.... that would be my worst nightmare to have ants crawling all over my computer monitor.. it's bad enough having to deal with the tiny vermin when away on what should be a relaxing holiday.... I'll never forget staying with family in very hot climate I was left home alone and decided to go out for the day. Worried about not been back to to feed the family cat... I put the cat tray *WITH FOOD IN IT* outside so that the family cat could eat later....... NOOOO.... when I returned later that evening... I saw the cat with it's back arched and it's hairs sticking out with it's eyes ablaze. It wasn't until I saw the cat tray... that my back arched and the hairs on MY body were sticking out and my eyes widened with fright.... ANTS....ANTS ANTS... billions and trillions had worked their little legs all the way to the cat tray and formed the biggest Ant GLOBE I have ever seen hahaha. After hosing them down with water washing the little mites away... I quickly learned my lesson... Cats are self sufficient and Ants are a pain in the A***!

Thanks for a great poem Zainul :O)

Small, evil, terrible little creatures. I have dealt with this in my kitchen and it is not a fun thing. Back to the poem...I liked the descriptions, but I can see a more global metaphor here. Ants in the computer...ants in the head; little things that conspire to stop our creative craft. Interesting piece!

I have an ant infestation in my apartment and I can relate to this poem. haha
They are everywhere, crawling on my floor, walls, laptop- even on me. And that happens every summer. :(
Lovely poem, as always.

Oh dear. I have had ants invade my sugar and my flour and I keep these things refrigerated now. But I never had them in my computer.There was a terrible plague of ants in myneighborhood once, and I got some ant bait to set around. It worked, and I have not had ants in the house since.

Scavengers. What we see as waste is their livelihood. Operating to maintain a system of living unknown to we humans. Nice write!

As I was reading this, the ad at the top of the screen was for an exterminator and it was a picture of an ant. It was pretty funny reading this and then seeing it. Just thought I would share.
