grllopez ~ with freedom and books (with_freedom_and_books) | 140 comments At first, this reads like a poem about the regimented, instinctual, unfeeling behavior of ants as they do their daily work. It is even a little humorous.

Actually, this is possibly a satirical work about government or academic institutions or the future of artistic expression?? Man was not created to behave like an ant, and when he does, he loses his creative spirit or emotional relationship with other human beings.

Thankfully, this poem was not a harsh lecture by the poet, but rather an entainingly enjoyable composition.
