| The Beehive |
|
*** For years and years I've lived my life Buzzing around the large beehive Buzzing around, looking at what's within buzzing around, not wanting to go in Looking around me, seeing bees fly Everything I saw, made my soul cry A long time ago a bee brought in a liquid, as sweet as honey A liquid that seemed healthy for a bee This new stuff attracted other bees to the little beast Drinking this new stuff made life a real feast So all they did was to drink, only not to get bored Not bringing the stuff where it was meant to be stored But all was not what it seems The liquid soon affected their dreams and so it came that step by step More and more bees didn't come back from what appeared to be a beetrap Looking around me I just didn't find a place to fit in One group was in my opinion too far obsessed with working The other group I saw was working itself slowly into extinction Nowhere I saw bees for which I felt compassion I flew around the hive, just to see If threre were other bees that lived their lives just as free But nearly all bees were gone And I was about the only one Only few bees decided not to drink the filthy stuff They knew that nectar was more than enough The other group thought that they were crazy not seeing that is was them who got lazy The group was now torn in two; "I don't want to have to deal with you" My lonelyness together with seeing that they worked with pleasure Slowly gave me compassion for the bees that still served their Queen Their lives were happier than I had ever seen So I flew at a little group of those bees to see if I wanted to get in My observations seemed wrong because even through the hard work they kept on smiling I joined the group and found myself working even harder than some others of the crew Still wondering if what I used to do alone I still could do among the friends that I had new Later on I got to know that many other bees had flown alone around the hive Finally giving to that they needed their Queen to give meaning to their life © Warrior of the Light |
