The Ants

If red and black ants are placed in the very same container Nothing will ever happen to them, which is a no-brainer Though they are of different colors they are all still ants And unto each other in anger they will not advance They are ants and their needs and wants are basically the same From the same heritage and beginnings they all had came They crawl around moving and working in and on the dirt Never ever of their own type will they ever kill or hurt. But, if you shake that jar the ants will then start killing Rage and anger is all that they are then feeling The black and the red ants will then see each other as enemies Even when they have lived in peace for centuries. Red ants will then believe that the black ants are their foe And the black ants will then see the red ants as enemies they know But, the one thing that they never knew thus far That the real enemy is the person who had shook the jar. The same is also true in our very own society Which is true and factual in the same type of reality Before we ever start hating and then fighting each other Especially because of a different color of our sister or a brother. Let us think what had brought us here to this hate or action Let us think are we being used as a hating faction, Then let us remember and then let us read from Aristotle And then let's look about us, and then let us see who shook the bottle.
