Slave to her seed

Elder than dirt, more foolish than a jester, able to trip over the smallest logic in a single step. It's... Oh, you know.

A falling star like a tear,

Above carnage without peer.

But does the ant cry, can she cry.

No, she can work and she can die.

 

The bodies of brethren and those of the foe.

A feast for the victors, on those they used to know.

Oh for little purpose did they perish.

A crust of sandwich and some lettuce.

 

But does the ant cry, can she cry.

No, she can work and she can die.

 

A world so big, with so much to see,

But the worker hasn't the hope or curiosity.

Genetically unsound to give to a worker, that which is the Queen's

Because the worker might realize she's satisfied and stop slaving.

 

Slave away little sacrifice

Genetics your life's price.

Serve your Mother with all possible haste,

And if you fall your brother will take your place.

 

But does the ant cry, can she cry.

No, she can work and she can die.

Really good poem, but that genetic line is a tad weird. Good stuff!
