Ignorantly Intelligent

Burrowed in a nest, built by their mother A peaceful brood, snuggled up with each other Show no concern about their next meal They know she'll return, their bellies she'll fill Living for the moment, for this moment is their life Rain will replenish. Tasty worms, a rife Surely tomorrow will bring dawn and then dusk What is yet to come, with God they entrust If tomorrow comes and the sun doesn't show Then they will deal because then they will know As for now they rest peacefully, no reason to rush Breathe in the fresh air and mid morning hush How intelligent these creatures, thought lesser than man Instincts to survive without having a plan
