Nothing But a Kite

up 
                            we all strive 
                       to so be in the hive 
                   but on that lovely hill top 
              yes, the only one you luckily are 
          ill mocking everyone of us from afar              
       our hopeful eyes you trample with laugh
   our food you left us half of the half of its half 
        but your heavy head has likely forgotten 
            or locked up in a pride with a button 
                you are nothing but a paper kite 
                     soared to a greater height 
                         behold from any time 
                                can be blown 
                                       down
