A Kingdom For A Queen
Once again we’re not prepared for the flying out brigade;
large black female ants seeking kingdoms to be made.
Being slow and laborious they lazily stumble around,
some managing to catch a breeze and leave the ground.
Many have to scale up high to launch off into flight
instinctively seeking to be queens in their own right,
but for those countless many who fail in their quest
they will become protein for the good of the rest.
