Towers of Bees

Towers of Bees

Over the city forest trees
Are hives of bees buzzing
In cubicle stacked towers with plastic flowers,
They labor for no honey, but money.

At an approximate five they fly
For they must eat and fill cool sheets,
To dream of bowers of sweet scented flowers,
When a cubicle is their own – their home

I love the metaphor in this clever poem Sunlite! Everyone should seek out a job that at least makes them happy, because most of their life will be spent working like bees! : )
