#anthill
That mountain that you climbed You told me it felt like Everest You were so blind In a land so treacherous But in reality It was just an anthill A speck of salt in the dead sea On a diet of sleeping pills Far from base camp Give me your hand I will be your hurricane lamp You and I will trek this land Let me be your guiding Sherpa And conquer this depressing frozen peak Baby steps to conquer inertia Companionship is what we both seek You don't have to be alone in your depression At least I don't want to be I guess this is my confession I need you and I want you to need me

Everest the Anthill
hill                                                  ant hill                                           an ant hill                                       a perfect ant hill                                  a perfect ant hill it was                                a perfect anthill erected                         a perfect ant hill erected at will            by ants and ants and army of disciplined ants.      ants of many kinds, sizes and colors erected an ant hill the design was grand, nice to look at like a cathedral,functional. we love the ants for being so versatile,co-operative and creative Do ants possess minds, ability to think,organize, put decisions in to actions?Or do they just have an instinct,prompted by nature, how do they receive it?Even if we are yet to find out such secrets,many of us are skeptics."All this is like the crawling leaches, inscribing  letters on smooth surfaces, inadvertently" they vehemently argue.And there remains the million dollar question,seeking answer:even tiny ants,could make millions of their ilk do amazing things, why oh! why, the most intelligent of living things, at least replicate the feats the community of ants, at a scale, proportionate ?If these disciplined insects, in spite of their small brains could be a great example, why can't human's be like them, behave more responsibly , take charge of their own destiny, construct, not destroy. Every ant hill in silence, asks us many questions,  we walk past pretending that we heard nothing, that could disturb our peace.
