Notes About The Poem

Beehive of Society Premiere Contest Winner

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
