Kingdom of Ants

Little ant where are you going so busy
digging tunnels through life’s dust and living easy?

Chasing after the wind of lost mortal time
a meaningless meandering through world’s grime

Weak kingdoms of dark earth with shadows of death
hiding the truth of destruction with God’s breath

For the thundering hooves of Solomon’s force
with his host of jinn and birds show not remorse

But thrones of earthly kingdoms shall pass away
for God’s kingdom is only that which will stay

Delusions of earth’s grandeur and riches fine
bind hearts to dust according to His design

Little ants running to and fro choosing dirt
as your abode in far wilderness desert

The Kingdom is up and not down in shatan’s lair
He hears earthly cries and your pleading prayers

You were not meant to have empty, forlorn lives
but feel the touch of the Spirit’s love and rise.
