I am an ant

I am an ant
I work hard
I know no rest or sleep
I do not know strikes or ill-will
We ants are one
we do not cheat or steal
we do not work for the lone self

I see a sugar cube
I dance with glee
I summon my friend down the line
he calls the next guy
and before you know it
we make a feast of it
sharing is in our blood

Learn to live like us, Oh Human
the world will be a better place
there will be no want of food or drink
no crimes and no violence
love and sharing with one another
the ants teach you well
fill your heart with compassion

entry for Announcing the Steemit School Poetry 100 Day Challenge! (Total Prize Fund 2000 SBD)

I write poems to express myself. I started writing at the age of twelve or so and some of my poems were published in magazines for children, a time when print still ruled the world. The internet and the blogging world has helped me write poems. Most of it was as I wrote earlier, to express myself and my thoughts. I have also been a ghostwriter.
Steemit has helped me write with freedom and also earned me very good friends who encourage me to write. I hope my readers will support me and also join in this contest. I am not a student of literature and so I do not consider myself an expert in poetry. It is the judge who will decide.
