Be Like The Ant. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

Wise men are always at work.
Don't waste your time
watching Netflix
and playing video games.

If you don't want to
live your life in poverty,
you must develop
a strong work ethic.

Be like the ant.

"Go to the ant, O sluggard;
consider her ways,
and be wise.

Without having any chief,
officer, or ruler,
she prepares her bread
in summer and gathers
her food in harvest.

How long will you
lie there, O sluggard?

When will you arise
from your sleep?

A little sleep,
a little slumber,
a little folding
of the hands to rest,
and poverty will come
upon you like a robber,
and want like
an armed man." —

From the Book of Proverbs 6: 6-11 in theHoly Bible
