Uh, my first adventures in free verse:

We, this inspired race
Of men tortured, questioning, discerning
Who ponder worlds
Explore depths
Contemplate life
Even the greatest minds, creating the greatest works
Expressing the unimaginable
Are but ants
Stumbling across fields
Vast, covered in small stones
Which seem as monuments to something too large
Too incredible
Too beyond this sphere of reason,
Foreign to chemical impulses,
To be seen in context of their boundless harmony
We are but ants
Struggling to understand the stars
