You have but two, we have six

We can use them to such great accomplishment

The sum of all, all of us all

Outweighs humanity’s obstinance

You argue much, don’t get along

You seem to try to do everything alone

But who needs to speak in our society

We take advantage of our pheromones

We communicate with chemicals

But this is not as you might think just mechanical

It’s an expressive art, instinctually smart

Secretions quiet and dependable

Altruism is our way

Each alone we do not have so much to say

We’re individuals in a community

One hundred forty million years we’ve been this way

With wisdom and ingenuity

We outwit so much larger adversaries

We symbolize this treasured prize

Buried deep within the human psyche

Between order and instability

We thrive on this beautiful complexity

We regulate our density

Emerge in the social biology

We get things done

We get things done

We get things done

We get things done

We get things done

We get things done

We get things done

We get things done

We get things done
