The Little Black Ants

The Little Black Ants
----------------------------

Look , How amazing and awe-inspiring
is the march-past of these tiny black ants
tens and tens of them in an array
and each one of them carrying a grain of white
food in the mouth
And they march so swiftly, organized
and impeccable in the march=past
looking every inch a minuscule
human army infantry transporting food
to be stored for emergency use in the bunkers
their march-past can surpass even this human army's
so swift and yet so perfect
keeping pace and space
without causing even slightest deviation in the marching line

I wonder who gave these wondrous tiny creatures
this awesome sense of military discipline
which humans achieve only after hours and hours
of rigorous training

My salutation to this myriad of ants
minuscule military genius of beauty unsurpassed
