Alia Afif Sifri Kawalit - Estimation

cRemember 'Que Sera Sera'
the song of surrender?
Remember how the tiny pieces of sugar
that fell on floor instead of diluting in boiling water
yielded to the colonizers invading your territory,
searching for profit, though you tried poisonous products,
but always admired the ants' intelligence?
Remember how you declared war on dirt
gripping the trunk of your vacuum cleaner
annoying sleepers with techno-trumpet?

It is true you have tried your best
to clear up your way, to be brilliant
as a non-stop warrior-ant,
as a looked up to model, an elephant.
Yes, for you, their significance is 'intelligent'.
But remember that the symbols are different.
