Little Ants

Little ants marching in single file
crossing my smooth window pane.
How do you know who to follow?
Do you each have your own name?


Where are you going in such a rush?
Have you nothing else better to do?
I watch you, my nose to the window,
and it looks like you're watching me, too.


In my world, everyone’s different
and most people go their own way.
In your world, you follow a leader
and you little guys all look the same.


I like making choices in my life
not following someone all the time.
I wouldn’t like living in your world ... 
are you wondering if you would like mine?

I never would have looked at ants in this way and compared them to us and our independence. It is rare how you can take an ant hill and make a profound mountain out of it CJ. Especially charming that you do it through a child's mind.
