ant.jpg (3564 bytes)Ants of Battle I

ants of battle
swarm with alarm
a civil war
in the ant farm

species against
its own ant-kind
the dying ants
are left behind

when one side leads
more ants come
to battle their lives
for more freedom

a single ant
is left barely alive
his final words
freed his side

the war was done
one side was free
the prize they won
they didn't live to see

Ants of Battle IIant2.jpg (3281 bytes)

a long time later
since the ant war
new ants burying ants
had become a chore

the line of dead ants
seemed to be endless
the blood from the battle
was quite a mess

the ants were buried
with little care
graves were scattered
and needed repair

the last ant they buried
was the one who freed ants then
they took a last look
and hoped it wouldn't happen again ant3.jpg (2493 bytes)
