HUMANS, ANTS AND SHADOWS

The smallest ants cast long shadows. . .

Little they are but see how discipline they can be
Millimeters apart, they all unify in a single file

It's a dismay that at some point
Humans, don't show such discipline
Instead of waiting for their turn
Sometimes one overtakes, one assumes
someone else's  post just to be on time 

selfish motive or emergency,
who knows?

Polymorphic ants, they merge 
to do an umbrella of tasks
Humans regardless of status and age
All are entitled to do some chore
inside ones home, school or workplace
Hand and hand in a web of labor

Talking to each other 
with their own way: pheromones
Some colonies act as one
but some misunderstands, they fight.

Humans as well does communicate
with the languages that abound this earth.
Hence, we can readily convey our thoughts
but still, highest among creations,
there are still confusions and war.

Amazing!
Such little creatures,
Ants  and we, humans,
one way or another 
cast long shadows. . .
