Chapter 13 - 13: Riech of the Meek

How amusing it is to watch this ant.

It stands atop a mighty mound of dirt

Below it, vast masses of black bugs crawl

And it gazes down upon the army.

What a great orator this one ant is

He gives his fancy speech to the masses, 

And tells them to rage against the system

"Down with the queens, down with supremacy

Rise up, ye lowly and inferior

We shall make a new system that is equal!

It shall be bereft of the powerful

Only the lowly, the meek, and also

The pathetic shall thrive under its whims

Down with the queens, down with supremacy

An end to the Good and an end to Truth

For you see, they are agents of the great

And nothing greater than our meager selves

Can be allowed to thrive in this system."

And then the ants marched, unquestioningly

Towards their powerless system to destroy

Power.

***

And the ant on the hill just watched.
