When the boulder was lifted, Pandemonium started. Everyone, in a flurry- The usually slow flow Of movements. Now done in haste: Moving out Moving in Resettling Reorganizing Moving shelter Moving food supply Everyone has to hurry Confusion shouts in every corner. Still, peace is kept In their lined activities Though, getting hurt is inevitable. How could there be so much Hope and patience, When soon enough, Another boulder would be lifted? Demolition is nearing, Construction would soon be starting, Desolation, all is expecting, Still, they move on, They live on. **** **** We, could learn so much from These industrious, persevering living beings. They are brimming with wisdom, These tiny, Slow-moving, fellow creatures, Called Ants.
