A Man and an Ant
POETRY FORMAT, 16 Dec 2013
Udaya R. Tennakoon – TRANSCEND Media Service
An ant
In a hurry
Runs alone
Some more
March behind
In a same rhythm
In return
Carry with
A big object
No one thought
A man
In a hurry
Moves alone
With a big object
In mind
No one yet
Legs behind
Hopes some day
To take out
Still look around
Finds ants but not men
