Two ants
Two ants argued all morning
Both were so stubborn and strong headed
They did not want to give in
They argued and argued
I watched and watched them
In my view, they were identical
But they bickered, they are not same
One says he is stronger
One says he is smarter
One says his feelers are longer
One says his waist is slimmer
No end to this and that
Objections and disagreements
Assertions and claims
One hour gone, two hours gone
But not a sign of being quiet
Their dispute continued the whole morning
I wondered about the end, the result
A curiosity to know who will be the winner
-
The sun was in the middle of my sky now
The ants were terribly mad
They were both hungry and angry
Hunger made them angry, actually
And anger caused them to fight for nothing
They clawed at one another
They were in a deadly row
They employed any particle
They could get for the battle
After the big battle
The two ants were tired
So tired that they collapsed onto the ground
Both had no energy to move their legs
But still their lips were moving
"I am stronger. I am smarter."
I saw no winner, but losers
I saw two losers who lost a beautiful morning
To a ridiculous argument.
