The leaf cutter ants can strip a tree, <br />In one single night so deliberately. <br />And then they march in single file, <br />Back to their burrow, though it may be miles. <br /> <br />Each carrying upon his back, <br />A single leaf, like a flour sack. <br />In the cool of the evening, at work they'll be, <br />Marching along so industriously. <br /> <br />People in general should all take heed, <br />Of the work they do, with lightning speed. <br />And a single page from their journal read, <br />And make their way of life our creed. <br /> <br />7/16/10 Alton Texas<br /><br />Juan Olivarez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/leaf-cutter-ants/
