Ignorance is Bliss

A worker ant slaving in bliss
suddenly knocked away...
And with having no way to explain this
he tries to continue...

Blocked again by the same force
he struggles on...
Her, concealed and on a secret course
penetrates through...

She eliminates all his defenses
so he is mauled...
She then destroys all his offenses
so he is crippled...

She so swiftly stealthed her way through
triggering no alarms...
She showed him something unusual, something new
he wasn't ready...

The beautiful sly way she acts, cute to the tip
made him freak...
The worker fumbled his things, and started to trip
catching himself barely...

Giggling silently, the intruder disappears
out of his thoughts...
The worker looks frantically around and fears
the way he felt...

Work needs to be done and workers are there for it
even though work is relentless...
Don't mind what it would be like for you, just sit
shutup and don't stop...

Is he better off not knowing?
Is his life good the way it's going?
Is he actually happy, because its not showing?
     Ignorance is Bliss...
