When An Ant Kills An Elephant Poem by Qiniso Mogale

Seemingly insignificant as it is
an ant can kill an elephant
Small as it is
an ant can kill an elephant
Ants have killed elephants
Little men have killed giants
David killed the giant Goliath
The mighty come tumbling down at the
hands of commoners.

Seemingly small sins have
destroyed spiritual giants
Seemingly insignificant sins
have led into spiritual giants
losing God's favour
Spiritual pride has destroyed many of
God's generals
Arrogance has led many men of God
ending in shame
They were destroyed by what they viewed
to be ants
When an ant kills an elephant.

Powerful political leaders in history
were assassinated by nobodies
Powerful men have been seduced by
common prostitutes and lost their dignity
The biblical Samson was destroyed by Delilah
When an ant kills an elephant.
