I do admire how bees simply go about being bees, even in these difficult times. There is a lesson here. I am comfortable leaving honey making to the bees. We, however, do need to do our part and concentrate on learning to live in peace.
I am not familiar with Alden Solovy's writing. I look forward to reading more.
Bees
The bees
Do not stop
Collecting pollen
When humans
Murder each other
With guns.
The bees think:
How strange,
How low
On the evolutionary scale
Must those humans be,
That they haven’t yet
Figured out
How to make honey
Or peace.
