Point of View

The vines underfoot try to grab your feet 
The puddles of water bubble from each step 
Creatures from the bottom 
Living in fear 
They scurry to safety when they hear the danger 

The ant march in order to the mound of life 
But when that drum of foot steps are heard 
They scurry away with not a leader to follow 

The beauty that surrounds them is forgotten in the panic 
The food that they carry is lost in the shuffle 
The loved ones are lost 
The hungry are not fed 
The creature that prowls and steps on their homes 
Is a danger to all even those that are feared 

In protection the snakes bunch up their coils 
Jump up in fear with head poised at danger 
The scent of danger lurks in their nostrils 
They strike out in blindness 
Glad they hit their target 

Opposite opinions bash in contradiction 
A child screams in pain and agony 
The father picks a rock 
Throws it at the danger 
In fear of more the children scream 
The mothers nurture 
The fathers protect 

It is is the same story 
For the same reason 
One must view both sides because both are correct 
It just depends on the "point of view"
