The farmer
The man sat thinking he should be standing. Never waste the light!
His blessing pour over all of us,
And wanting is a wasteful person.
The Ant paused for a moment looking up at the man thinking.
My family is crying in hunger, our parents ate each other.
My brother's and sisters tragically poisoned by the man sitting here!
I must keep moving thought the Ant.
I can hear my people crying in hunger!
Only enough time, the light fades and darkness.
Faster, faster thought the Ant.
The man stands hurrying around trying to use his time wisely.
His wife yells dang it!
Our tomatoes are being spoiled by the ants.
He looks up at the sun and rushes to his shed and gets it.
The Ant poison.
And runs back to his wife and says bring them ones here.
We will posion them and put it closer to their home!
Who then is ready to be judged!
