What do you think this poem is about?

Both in Traps, Man and Ant.

There was a ant leader
Who had a notion strange
To lead his fellow beings
For a long traverse across
The oldest cemetery
By the city skirts.
It took ages
To complete this strange stride.
When they all assembled,
To their utter embarrassment
Could find ways all closed intact
By human sealant barring their way out!
Man by this end in his observatory
Had his investigations done,
Authentically recorded for history
From the movements,
Communication waves and behavior
Of poor innocent ants!
Biblical or Quranic reference
On their association with King Solomon
Might have caused this fated-trap!
Man today leaves nothing unexplored,
Though himself trapped in wisdom's cage!

Poet's Notes about The Poem

Man makes use of anything and everything to explore still deeper, but he himself boasts intellect, forgetting his very existence is bound by the shackles of wisdom!
