"Marching Beside Ants"

An ant marching beside you,
Harmless and innocuous,
Continues marching until you
 step on him.
But there are other ants.
Lucky, lucky ants,
Who march in that place.
And fill that void.
 
   An ant cannot impede your forward progress.
   It’s easy to face an ant who stands in your way,
    when the burden is not.
 
And it matters not the fate of each,
Because there is always another.
Which is why ants are safe to march beside.
And so you carry on.
