Pink welts

Take note world.
I am here to scrawl my indelible legacy on YOU.

But, I am just an ant.
An ordinary, brown, worker ant.
Not especially large, crafty, or otherwise.
One of millions maddened by the invaders foot.
Bending my strong little brown body into contortions.
Biting hard and then harder.
Everything into one back-bending lunge against IT!

Casually brushed away and crushed.
Dying with just a bit of IT in my mouth.
Not happy to have just left a small, pink welt.
Small and pink 
Hardly noticeable from space.
