THE ANT

 THE ANT

As I sit in the sun, enjoying its warmth, 

I observe a lone ant, species unknown, 

drag a seed, no doubt from a distance, 

towards a hive she knows as her home. 

She's serving the collective the best that she can, 

an action decided eons ago. 

Some would say that we're better than ants,

our species superior, supreme in many ways.

 

But,

ants learned eons ago that, 

only fools search for paradise, 

when they are already living in paradise.
