 THE TRAVELING LIFELONG BUSH POET

A SLIGHT ADJUSTMENT OF VISION


Photobucket

It's amazing how we all can walk around all day
And notice nil or very little along the way
We have so many other things upon our minds
And endless wonders seem to then all go astray

Photobucket

But if we really want more from our life
It's grand to adjust our vision and our mind
Then all of a sudden all sorts of things
During a single day we all can learn and find

Photobucket

I was sitting out the front porch yesterday
And a line of ants attracted my vision so
I watched them in perfect movement and harmony
As they walked there and back all within a row

Photobucket

They never stopped but to deliberately check
With another now and then along the way
More than likely to ask how it was all going
Further down the line upon that very day

Photobucket

I wondered why and gave a sigh if only in some way
That the human race could in any way be like them
All working as one dawn till day is gone and done
But then of course I come back to reality right then

 Photobucket

Ants really are 70% of all living things on earth
And humans are in the balance there some where
And if we could only be more like the ants world wide
We then could say we are a race beyond compare

Photobucket

World peace would be a piece of cake and easier
If we could only look at the ants and see
How they simply as one all share the load
And support one and all in all sincerity

Photobucket

But as well if we during our very every day
Adjusted our vision to look a little deeper still
We would notice ever so much more along the way
And those empty brains cells we could thus fill
Hopefully enough to be as the ants are every day
Always in total peace of mind working as one
Who knows peace upon earth could get closer still
And then even the planets problems solved just some.
