“Hierarchy”
By: Allen Sherman

The worker ants,
Incarcerated and vigorous,
Works hard all year.
Like a hard working
blue-collar human,
Drones all day
Just to end up
Stomped on the next one.
Pitied by the drones,
The drone ants,
Emancipated and lethargic,
Negligently it meanders around
To find its mate,
The queen ant.
Like the middle class,
It lives day to day
Bemoaned,
Like a schooner
Jam-packed with water
Tipping over the edge.
And on top is the queen ant,
Egotistical and forlorn.
It has no equal
As it stands
At the bottom of life
Lusting for purpose.

Moral: People lust for money and fame, but once there lust for happiness and loneliness.
