Bee

He travelled the seas
He travelled the land
To the hum of the bees
And the hum of his hands

And his Queen was protected
By many a Bee knight
Though she was highly respected
She never took flight

And the Queen was a prisoner
The Bee knight her jailor
They hummed loud in their honour
But she grew the paler

The Bee hive needed a Queen to believe in
A perfect model of divinity in Bee form
In this Virgin Mother
Such a deity they perceive in
So her role of Captive Ruler
She was made to perform

All power has its consequence
All power has corruption
But the bee Queen rules her bee subjects
Without Scandal or interruption
You think the Queen owns her Kingdom
That she rules from the hive
Her vast reign
But ask her of her Bee freedom
She’ll cry To Be or not To Be

To you again and again

  2. Thanks I guess this is Joseph? Thank you there are other poems going back to 2014 so knock yourself out as they say, though hopefully they aren't heavy enough for that?
