“It’s a bug-eat-bug world out there, Princess.” – Hopper,
from “A bug’s life”
In the field one summer day was an assiduous ant, toiling
away..
Hindered by an unbashed hopper, looming with pretense, a show-stopper..
For being the ant’s leader, he felt mandated to be the deal
breaker
Mumbled the ant with dread, “Morning sire.. wish you a
lovely day ahead”
With his cold unforgiving gaze, you wished he would vanish
into a maze..
“A lovely day with you..
never, Maybe when hell freezes over”
One eventually cease to mollify, cause the attempt can never
pacify.
“What is good should
be better.. else I’ll rub into your eyes, hot chilly pepper”
“I have set your target..
all you have to do is slog, and your happiness – Forget”
“You may try to lament
for the man.. but I say “hats off to your plan””
Our little ant could take no more, in his dreams, was the
hopper and gore..
Over a cup of honey and fruit ripe, he found more souls with
the same gripe..
The rebel in ants united.. something within them was now
ignited.
Of populace they could boast..together, they command the
mercy of the host..
Drove away the hopper they did.. out came an apology with a
solid bid..
With the celebratory twine into the needle, now entered a
nasty beetle!
Impeding cycle of domination, frustration.. rebellion will
become an easy relation.
Ants would eventually see the hard part..which is simply to
stand together for the fight!
We have all faced villains in our lives. I would now like to
thank all the people who have bullied me at different points in my life: right
from my childhood, till date. These people have made life painful and
unbearable to deal !
They are excellent at making people feel worthless and suck
the self-esteem right out of their persona. But within each of us, lies a fighting
spirit which is waiting to come out and defend the wonderful person that you
are! Sometimes, all you have to do when you are out up against a bully is to
join hands with another person who is a target and jointly stand up for the
common cause!
Villains come and go. Thank them… for you will make such
strong bonds that will last forever. And finally, it is because of them that
you have the chance to be the hero in your own story!
