Ants Poem by Ahmad Shiddiqi

Ants

Rating: 4.4


(dedicated to Mr. Bob Blackwell, a poet friend at poemhunter)

drones
queens
soldiers
workers

rituals
cuisine
medication
human cultures

tap resources
modify habitats
social organization
defend themselves

industriousness
cooperative effort
the propriety-insect
the very first animals

always together
never surrender
through days and nights
in hot and cold weathers

about togetherness
can we study from you?
about struggle for future days
can we become your students?

All you said is right, I add they live sharing food, habitat, each has work, no banks of interests, no selfishness, no mind but instinct.
