Particle - From Joe Ushie's A Reign of Locusts

I am that molecule
lost in ocean of time
yet I strive to bestride time

I am that particle buried
in a sea of clouds
yet I fight to sink all clouds

I am the blind mortal
hypno-trapped on fragile throne
yet I crush and mangle the low

I am the little ant
crawling on mother earth
yet I strive to gulp the earth

I am the fallible stirred
into dance by cosme-thick praise songs
and frenzied with jeers for cheers

I am man
