We see the trees and rocks and the backdrop of the sky,
overlooking the king-domes hidden from the naked eyes.
For within the expanse of the world another lives within,
the land of the unseen kingdoms works there in unison.
The smallest ants on a journey for food as he should,
the lonely beetle up to no good.
The fluttering butterfly whispers where's the sweets,
and the grasshopper playing a tune with his knees.
Across the land we don't even hear,
those kingdom's are so very near.
Lost in a world of giants ones taken for granted today,
builds and survives for the future will be theirs they say.
So in tune are the small kingdoms for they work as one,
never complaining never lax until their job is done.
Like a chain they work together not thinking of oneself,
for it's the good of the many that truly helps.
Now what could we learn from the world at our feet,
could we become as one and help see to everyone's need.
Or continue on our path of destruction and pain,
seems like we would be the ones in perfect order for we have the brains.
Author notes
To make the world happy reach out and choose a friend and they reach out and so on and so on until we are one again .Lets not let the smallest in the world best us today for truly stop and think about it we are the ones with the brains so why arent they used for good today

You said a mouthful, a great way to express that we just need to look at nature to help us down the path of peace.

It was lovely to read a more uplifting poem from you; while i write mostly dark poetry myself, and love to read and research such dark topics .... thinking of such things bfeore sleep is perhaps not the best plan so this was a nice change for me for now
