Lessons From Ants

In the world of ants, It's language of silence. In caverns, soils and on trees, It's their realm of pleasure. Even to distant places, They move like soldiers. Their words unheard, But united they are. Their works, man's wonder. They move in line, Carrying food all day. What a language of silence. Even their dead are carried away, All in abeyance, And all perform their share In a language of silence. In team and hand-in-hand, They struggle like in the war-field. Oh, how I could speak That language of silence!
