Ant Colony

Robust they are

Energetic they are

Helping each other and Acting together

To preserve food......

Each guided by each

No one meant to be alone

Every one finds the correct path

And no one gets lost!

Queen is the ruler

She has the power;

Not to demolish the opponent

But to protect the colony!

Nobody has starvation

Needs are pre-arranged

Each works hard

Gets a rest on rainy days......

No one wants to protest

No one points the finger

Every one likes to follow

The ancestors’ clear paths......

Excellent artistry. One should remember though - the perils of blindly following the leader. :)
