Confronting Taller Ants

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: January 9, 2011

What bugs me about our culture…

Taller ants. They're all the rage.
They are the mascots of our age.
But lest we think they're all so great,
remember they're still ants.

It bugs me that they think they're hot
and act like shorter ants are not.
But ants are ants and nothing more.
How dare they rule our lives?

It's time that taller ants take note.
There's no free pass for those who gloat
about what culture claims as fair
that actually is not.

* taller ants is often spelled "tolerance"
