Letter from an ant
I am but an ant
Climbing up with this plant
A leaf on my back
Is all that I pack
Along this path goes
My troubles and woes
I climb the hill slowly
My friends follow closely
My Queen waits for me
Her command like a bee
My leaf like a brick
So heavy and thick
Twas a walk up the tree
It weighs twice more than me!
But I never drop it- no!
Never, ever think so
My will is my strength
I'll go to great lengths
To feed the colony
One leaf at a time
If you were to try
Dear human of mine
Your shoes like clamps
Just stomping on us ants
Anger cannot explain
Your idleness- what a shame!
We ants, yes we know
That you walk just for show
The bricks you carry are minimal
And that makes you a criminal
Take the biggest leaf you find
And please, just try to climb
The distance you could go
If you only watched our show
