Oh the mighty ant,
the industrialist's dream
doesn't know it is.

Many times its weight
carried time and time again,
it doesn't ask why.

The warrior ant,
its loyalty unquestioned,
doesn't know of death.

Moved by thought itself
never knowing symphonies
it doesn't need words.

The apolitical
prototype conservative,
doesn't need reasons.

Made to an image
of functional ugliness,
its god is an ant.

I liked this. The ant colony are amazing to
watch, as long as the ants don't get on you.
Some of those boogers can hurt!!
