Ant's Shadows

Even the smallest ants,
cast long shadows,
as workers go,
they travel to and fro,

always working never stopping 
never,do you hear, complaints 
even the smallest of ants,
cast long shadows

Never unemployed,
the hive they protect,
with their live's,
always working never stopping,

even the smallest ants,
cast long shadows,
much have we to learn,
our hive the world

do we give our live's,
to protect the hive,
alway's working,
never stopping,

we complain,
we think of just ourselves,
we attack we destroy,
our hive the world.
