You Are All Family

Make a Home for All

Tip toe, tip toe, tip toe, can you hear it, can you feel their presence

They in essence work day and night

They delight in sugary sights

And when you might like to brush them away, they say, okay we’ll go another way

They work, they travel, they congregate

They make a home for all

Some of them live in your homes, some of them live outside of your homes

 

Several Options

When you see them coming, you might want to choose to have them leave

For you to achieve this, there are several options you might choose to share

We the Ants of the Land want you to understand, if you clean up, if you leave nothing behind, we are most inclined, to be disinterested

 

Sweet Tooth

But like you, we too have a sweet tooth

We are here to say each and every day, we look for opportunities, we devise a plan

For like you we tend to expand over time

 

Betterment of All

And like you, we are inclined to like to live within colonies or communities

For we like to see each other, we like to share, we like to care

For we have an air of responsibility, we have an air of ingenuity, we work together for the betterment of all

When our name is called, we know it is time for us to step up to the plate

For we want to demonstrate what we can do

We carry heavy loads, that many of you would explode under

But we do not work as individuals, we work as part of a team

It would seem we are relentless, we are determined

And we here to say to each and every one of you, there may come a day when we are here to say you need us too

 

Leave Something Behind

For we like you, leave something behind

But unlike you, what we leave behind is inclined to add to Mother Earth

For what we produce is natural, what we produce blends in

Now we look to you on the other hand, and we try to understand, what is your rationale for what you do

For you unlike us, leave too much behind

We see your presence everywhere

Do you share, do you help out another

 

Expanded Family Zone

Are you a part of a team, or do you work alone

Do you live in an expanded family zone

Or do you prefer to live alone

Do you work hard with another, and share in their misfortune

Or do you prefer to go your own way, and stay where you stay

Do you send through warnings to others, to let them know of hazards along the way, or do you stay put and give little input as to what is coming up the pipe so to speak

 

Cleaning Up

We the Ants of the Land want you all to understand, we have a job to do, we know what it is

And part of that job that we do, is cleaning up after you

Now even though we clean up after you, let’s review there is much that we cannot do, with what you leave behind

 Many of us go beyond your kitchen, beyond your floor, for we are here to say, when you were not here it would appear, we still had much to do

We did not need to clean up after you, we had other jobs to do

If you are curious about this, take some time and observe

For certain species of us climb up and down a tree, certain species of us move between plants and the Earth

 

Birthed For a Reason

We were birthed for a reason

Our footprints are Light

Our carrying capacity is heavy

Therefore, my dears we the Ants of the Land want to make it perfectly clear, we work quietly in the mist

 We persist no matter what

We live in dry conditions and watery ones as well

We have a hard shell on the outside, but we will confide in you, we carry through a love for family

 

 Connect Deeply With Each Other

Some of us are black, some of us are red

Some of us choose to munch on you, if you get too close

Some of us attempt to stay away

Some of us move in hordes, some of us move on our own

Some of us live above ground, some of us live below

But we are here to show, we connect deeply with each other

 

One and All

We the Ants of the Land want you to understand, we have a plan, we get to it

Our house, our habitat, we work together from start to finish

And if that structure would start to diminish, we would start again

We do not ask for outside help, we Call on one and all

For all in all, we need each other

Therefore, my dears we the Ants of the Land, want you to understand, we are connected to the Earth

As she vibrates, so do we

We are enmeshed, we are entrained

And just the same we will remain

 

Adapt

We are survivors through thick and thin

We have learned to adapt, we have learned to compromise

If one way doesn’t work, try another

And if that doesn’t work, try to rediscover another way

We the Ants of the Land are here to say problem solve, work it out

 

Tree of Life

And instead of shouting I FOUND IT, IT’S ALL ABOUT ME,

Understand you are beyond me, you are part of the Tree of Life

Therefore, my dears we want to make it perfectly clear, we need each other

Instead of me, myself, and I we declare, we all share in our victories, we all share in our sadness

So, let’s declare, share away, you learn so much

For with sharing, you declare you care for others

For you need each other

So, proceed with care, proceed with triumph

For your connections are deep

And each one of you, are steeped in the knowledge of the other

 

 Song of Life

You are at One with another, another is at One with you

You are you

You are One

One being together

All beings belong in the Song of Life

So, sing it together be the Earth Choir

Aspire for greatness of all

And aspire to be there when one of you starts to fall, yes you can catch them and lift them up

For you are their responsibility, and they are yours

For you come from the same shores, you come from different shores

 

Web of Life

We the Ants of the Land want you to understand, you are all connected through the Web of Life

It’s a sticky substance, it’s sweet to the taste

But we will not waste you time any longer on this, but we persist you are all One

 

Calling

The hurt of One, is the hurt of the many

The love of One, is the love of all

Do you hear the Calling, they’re calling your name

And then again you are Calling back

Instead of attacking, you’re reaching out your hand

For you want to understand all of those who live on the Land, all of those who live on the Waters, all of those who live in the Air, all of those who live in the Earth, you want to declare you are all family

That’s it, reach out your hand

 

You are part of the Land of One

 

 Who is Around You

Tiptoe pause, look behind, look in front you’re still together, you know where you’re going

Look left, look right, look up, look down

Do you sense a sound, do you sense a movement

Do you see, who is around you

 

 Truth

You are a collection of individuals; you are just One

We the Ants of the Land want you all to understand, you need each other

You may feel the vibrations tell a different story

We too want you to understand, we have been on this Land for a long time, and we are inclined to suggest to you, all of you need each other

And you will eventually discover, there is more truth in this than you know

The Planet will eventually show you this

 

 You All Belong

As you persist sing the song through the mist, as you persist sing the song through the blizzard

Sing the song when the rain keeps raining, sing the song when the Earth opens up, sing the song when the waves keep crashing, sing the song when you feel you don’t belong,, sing the song when the noise is too great, sing the song when the silence is deafening, sing the song when you carry a heavy weight, sing the song when you’re light as a feather, sing the song when you want to reach out to another, sing the song when you want alone time, sing the song when you feel heavy as a stone, sing the song when you feel light as a piece of sand, sing the song when you roll in delight, sing the song when you feel like a fight, sing the song when you see the sorrow in another’s eyes, sing the song when you see such a great surprise, sing the song that you all belong

That is the Song of life, that is the song of the One

And you my dears are all the One
