Delusional

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Oct 26, 2020 

Important 
little things.
Scurrying.
Scurrying 
around.
Acting out.
Delusions 
of grandeur.
Deadly 
serious.
Jockeying 
for position.
Stepping
over, on.
Win at
all costs.
Ends justifies 
the means.
Self important 
little things.
Ant hill
of existence.
Meaningless.
Going where?
Achieving what?
Hurting who?
Important 
little beings,
scurrying 
about.
Scurrying about 
in the 
meaningless.
Meaningless 
oblivion.
