Jenish Somadas Poet Free verse

Honey Bee

I want to be a Honey Bee,
Drinking honey from flowers it goes.
Seeking knowledge from wherever I can,
I want to be a Honey Bee.
Whether it is from Bible Quotes,
Whether it is from Islamic Verses,
Whether it is from Hindu Texts,
Whether it is from Buddhist Books,
I want to be a Honey Bee,
Drinking honey from flowers I meet.
But this world is full of Flies,
Honey Bees are few in number.
Flies will come and seek for the faults,
Bees will always search for the honey.
Do not follow the way of the Flies,
But that of the path of the Bees.
