As my gaze shifted down below
my eyes, how did they behold
all the little ants going to and fro
as if they were mind controlled
Can't they see what is happening
to and fro, to and fro, to and fro
day after day, day after day, day after day
and for what?
Cheap plastic that eventually breaks
blue lights shooting up dopamine
dreams of scratch off sweepstakes
costly cups of muddy caffeine
Lets show them what being free is all about

Watch clouds shrink while ants grow
their busy bodies stop
as they finally lift their face up to show
the horror in their eyes drop
following downward along
this exciting free fall
this beautiful swan song
that I sing for all
I can hear them now
how angelic are their cries
I can see their sickly brow
the whites in their putrid eyes
Fleshy hail from the building above
came crashing into a yellow cab
spirit fleeting like a mourning dove
a body crimson mangled and drab
I leave my mark on this city
my final piece of art
I hope they find it pretty (and not pity)
this perished bleeding heart
