White Ant

By Clarette Lubbe

 

One ant decided he ain’t gonna follow

He’d rather take the road less trodden

He’d rather chisel at Wall of Separation

He knew he was only an ant but he knew he was embraced by Grace

The ant saw the window of freedom of thought way up high

He thought that if he continued to walk in the Light which embraces all,

Others might start to notice the window of freedom too

The ant met others who were chiselling at Wall of Separation too

The ant continued to climb many walls

And enjoyed sunshine entering through the window of freedom

Later as an Oupa ant he took great delight

In seeing the grandants walking proudly in Grace

Also believing that they too could climb mountains

And feel the light of freedom

When it was Time, the ant asked Grace to lead him home

To be with the Light

The ant was at peace

Because he was embraced by Grace
