Just Buzzin' Around by Brian Bosem

The bare necessities,

The simple bare necessities,

Just enough food, water… and bees?

Fearsome warriors with gentle hearts

Craving some sort of appreciation.

Though, capitalism does appreciate bees… Somewhat.

Big Honey’s fascination with liquid gold produces mass amounts

Of liquid gold.

The sweet taste of Benjamin leaf tea with a touch of honey

Produces a wonderful feeling.

Such a feeling of power that it is irresistible to many…

The corporate ignores the cries for help:

It suppresses bee unions globally

All in the chase for fortune.

Reaping the gifts of other’s virtues has costs:

The bee is almost extinct.

We too, inevitably face this fate.

We mustn’t let the spirit of the bee fade.

Together,

It is our duty to resist.

Affirm the life of a bee

Combining alluring self-sufficiency with efforts to enhance the world.

Buzz with your family,

Buzz with your friends,

Buzz every remaining day of your life,

And the Earth’s buzz will never end.
