They close the day behind them, then scurry to the hive Inside a honeycomb of cells, a cabinet filled of lives Where the humming never stops, until the midnight clock When darkness soothes each frazzled mind, but worries never rest One does his best to keep a head above the mounting stress Were it not for family, honor, faith, ..and love for humankind Society would be resigned to seek,........ but never find ____________________________________________________ 9/27/16 "What Is Society" Contest Sponsor: Ir0nic ZiNk
