What if we were more like ants? (creative flow poetry critical thinking where did it go?)

Layers upon layers

What you see on the surface

is simply the product 

A collection of moments

not the forever

People can change

Their minds

Set in default mode

Processing takes “time”

That’s why you’re taught to keep busy

to laugh at manifestation

look outward for validation

A concept that has been manufactured 

For generations


Knowledge is power

So they limit the access to education

Slowly but surely 

eliminate critical thinking

Regular dopamine hits 

that have the world twitching

With ants in their pants

They’ve got us so twisted

Divided

Looking to AI for the answers

Instead of communicating 

with each other


Best time for change 

is when the world is in crisis

Technology should bring benefits

Not just making things go faster and faster

There was a reset back in 2020

Through media, filters, reality shows and body cams

Constant surveillance because no one can trust 

The product of our environment

Let alone believe what anything

Or Anyone says or does anymore

Fear of everything

Especially getting cancelled



What if we were more like ants?

Ants work as a team. There's no boss or leader.  

They can make living bridges with their bodies

Have super strength because they work together

Imagine what we could do with some team effort

Have we lost the spirit?

No. People just have to remember

We’ve been misdirected

Misled

Overworked

People are tired

Bored

Alone

Filling the void

Surviving off the tools provided

Only to some and not all

Based on what we’re sold

Under terms and conditions

We don’t understand

Well not anymore

Thats for sure

They’re burning books

Instead of building libraries

That speaks volumes

Transforming the truth

further 

Is this the best option for humanity

New developments

Luxury high rise

Gentrification

Before rebuilding a school

a neighborhood


It doesn't matter how far you push people out

Of your mind

Your bubble

The resentment, the anger, the trauma

Of this system

Will find its way back to you

Eventually

It’s a cycle

Maybe it’s time for another reset

What if we were more like ants?

What if we were more like ants?
What if we were more like ants?
