Poem: Standard of Cooperation

A simple army of ants
in silent cooperation and unity,
quickly work side-by-side -
Setting an example for humanity.

From Scriptural advice
we're instructed to observe
the behavior of these insects
and see value from learning to serve.

Achieving the colony's purpose
and focusing on its common mission,
labor is given for the greater good
via its natural instinct of unison.

For much can be accomplished
from sharing like mindedness
whenever the unified Body reaches...
Towards Jehovah's divine holiness.

You did this wonderfully! I've always found inspiration in the ants but never could put the words together. Honestly I've been trying to write a very similar script for over a year and it's never come. Wonderful job Joseph!
