Poem

I am a tiny winged buzzing insect
A friend to folks and flowers alike
Another name for hard work
Toiling untiring from dawn to dusk

I set out merry, humming a tune, 
On my professed mission of gathering honey
The flowers freshly bathed in dew
Eagerly await my propitious visit

I like to flit from flower to flower
I love dallying with floral beauties 
Gladiolus, Chrysanthemums and Petunias
Red geraniums and colorful Zinniahs

But I prefer to hover over clustered blooms
Which hang from trees’ stooping boughs
From each flower I sup to my fill
And my body gets covered in yellow dust

I don’t believe in the Epicurean dictum
Of ‘Eat, drink and be merry’
Neither do I live just for today 
I await a future that is trouble free

We work tireless till the day is done
And see that every cell of our hive is full 
We never complain of those among us
Who stay idle and thrive on our labor

Never grumble against the privileged Queen
Who enjoys unique status with rights many
For we respect the Nature-ordained hierarchy
As we know, a mob without a leader would be anarchy
