Small But Strong
We stay as a group,
We work as a group,
We die as a group.
Our mother is the leader.
If mother is brought somewhere, we follow,
Some of our family have been trapped and contained.
There are many kinds of us,
There are varieties of us,
But that just means that our family is big.
Family sticks together,
And we are family.
We cannot and will not wander too far.
Different families fight differently
Act differently,
And look differently.
Many of us eat leaves
But sometimes there will be crumbs
If we can’t find any food
We would eat from our storage
There is no ¨I¨
There is only ¨us¨ or ¨we¨
Things go right or wrong for all of us
If mother went away,
Things would go wrong
We would panic.
We would have to wait for a new mother
We can’t see,
But we can sense.
Many look down on us,
But we stay stay strong.

I was inspired by thinking about things that didn't seem to matter to us. Things that are small usuall pass our mind without us even thinking about it. Although this is the case, I realized that we've all got a goal. The small ants that we see work mindlessly without even thinking. They've been working since birth and they are very small. We don't usually think about ants but they are very strong compared to how much they weigh. I hope that people realize from reading this that even the smallest thing has a purpose and everybody can do something.
