WE ARE NOT ANTS
In a system broken by Billionaires. We are warriors coming with a million ant colonies built atop each other.
This was written today out of my despair that millions of vulnerable populations are on the brink of losing everything because of bullies in the Whitehouse and the ultra-wealthy will have it all as they steal from the coffers of the poor to feed the one percent billionaire bullies of crime, corruption, psychopaths, narcissists, racists, and who laugh at the poor, dying, and their bizarre hatred of us to squash us like ants. I had to write this.
We are not ants
In a system broken by Billionaires.
We are warriors coming with a million ant colonies built atop each other.
[Intro – Whispered, over ambient hum]
They said the system was broken.
Then they broke it more.
[Verse 1 – The Divide]
No food in the fridge.
No pills in the cabinet.
No doctor who’ll see you
without a card that bleeds.
While they sip champagne
on decks of floating cities,
counting tax breaks
like blessings from a god
they bought.
[Verse 2 – The Theft]
They take from the hungry
to feed the gluttons.
Steal from the sick
to fund another mansion.
They call it policy.
We call it pain.
[Chorus – The Truth]
We are not ants.
We are not disposable.
We are not background noise
to their empire’s soundtrack.
[Verse 3 – The Reckoning]
We are the mothers
who remember.
The elders
who still rise.
The children
who dream in fire.
[Bridge – The Shift]
They forgot:
Ants build colonies.
Ants carry ten times their weight.
Ants swarm.
[Outro – Rising]
So let them laugh
from their towers.
Let them toast
on their yachts.
We are the storm
they forgot to fear.
And we are coming.

Tick Tock
This is part of Step into Echoes Beyond the Veil with Pookie & Vicki After we connected with our ancestors, my dad, and her mom I thought how thin the veil is and how the earth is spinning faster, this had to be written. It is other, time zones, tick tock clocks of time & space, birth, death, and closed & open doors. This is truth, fiction, and science fiction written in words regarding living, and the fantasy of time.

Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

People who can "rent" Venice for their wedding don't need anymore money! The people who attended the wedding don't need anymore money! The billionaires don't need any more money! The blood of innocent people is on their hands.
-counting tax breaks like blessings from a god- That line hits hard and is an awful truth. Great work, Vicki!
This is a brilliant take on the current situation and the song and video is brilliant.
This was raw, fierce, and deeply necessary.
