I jabbed my pencil,
Right into the middle.
The ant squirmed,
Pinned down, helpless.
I twisted the pencil,
The ant too.
Then, in the insanity,
A sane thought,
And I let go.
I watched it crawl,
Back broken.
Trying to escape,
My future wrath.
Nothing its offence,
Nothing its sin.
I regret!
For a moment,
I did what I did,
Just so I can.
Power, power,
With no justification.
To be born an ant,
The ant didn’t choose!

Beautifully stated.
The ant is no less deserving of its existence than us. But isn't there always a being that takes that life- just because it can?
