jellyfish hearts

the bees

we are the bees
we collaborate to harvest
honey
as requested by our Queen

yet in all her clemency
she cheers us on,
my fellow workers
toiling for more.

we emanate determination
our faces alluding to
achievement
our Queen cheering us on

in our brains;
we've been designed to
pollinate.
We symbolize energy.

All our hard work
For the future generation,
Allowing the blossoming
Of flowers

Across the nation
While we produce the golden
Libation
Happy to help

Produce that savory
Combination
Even if it is not for our
Consumption.

But I count to three
And continue
Pollinating
Happy to please.

The bees finish working
The pollen is fresh
We buzz our way home to the
Hive.

But when we arrive to present
Our project's present earnings,
We stumble in on
A ransacked hive,

Our Queen ripped apart,
A wasp feasting on her
Insides,
Her intestines his dessert.
