Supposedly an ant just dies
and has no heaven or
nirvana.
Where privileged humans
get the perks of living
cushy, eternal lives.
I find that discriminatory
to the little four-leggeds,
who according to research
have more group smarts
than humans.
But maybe their salvation
is eventually assured
through the transmigration
of souls from one life to
another.
In other words, today an ant
tomorrow a dog. Lives later
a privileged human on the
track of a nirvana or a
heaven.
But still … why the wait?
Why can’t ants be on the
fast track to eternal bliss
instead of having to
make their bones life
after life.
That is, If the Hindu
take on the scheme
of things is unerringly
and theologically right.

Started writing poetry a little over a year ago; most poems I write are fictional but some are not. Spiritual with a permanent spiritual experience. Write poems on many subjects. Always researching for many of my poems and because of my unquenchable thirst for knowledge. After reading and hearing about many near death experiences and death bed visions, I believe death is the ultimate awakening and the relocation of a lifetime. You may believe differently, but you have the right to be wrong -- I'm just messing with you. :-)
