Antagonism

Can kids coexist with creature communities?

Through blades of grass
The tiny armies do pass
Millions of ants scant
Gathering by their scent
For a crumb they come
And never just the one
Unlike humans they care
For each one is so aware
Of its fellows in the pack
That if anything attacks
In defense, they fight back
Keeping the queen intact
Is evolutionary instinct
A thriving hive can think
As a unit with deep links
I only wished they stayed
Far from the food I made
And away from the sink
Guilt would remain unpaid
From spraying all this raid
