about better bee-haviour
Yet another poem inspired by online conversations featuring great divides, political and otherwise. I speak the poem as a narration on the video. The words may be read below.

we could learn a lot from bees
sharing pollen one, two, three
they work hard, as they must
in their fellows, they have trust
up and down & round they bumble
eschewing ego, remaining humble
they don’t argue, they don’t fight
they keep common goals in sight
we could learn a lot from bees
so pay attention if you please
we don’t need to snipe & plunder
laugh or sneer when others blunder
we could find some better ways
so everyone might have a say
on where to go, and getting there
on what to do, and playing fair
yes, we could learn a lot from bees
if only hell would cool then freeze!
