Hear the buzzing, see the dance of the bees
Working all hours of day on the bower
Gathering nectar from blossom on trees
Flitting and circling flower to flower.
A taste of honey, prepared in the hive
So delicious and nutritiously sweet
We don't realise how hard the bees strive
In producing this pure liquid gold treat.
Mother’s in the castle, queen of her hive
No messing with her, she’ll sting to her death
She takes mating flights to keep her hive live
Laying eggs, hardly leaves time to draw breath.
Maybe the bees all have stings in their tails
But only attack when danger prevails.

ANTI-THESIS
Competitive economic experience
breeds business as usual
capital-growing cultures
with a special preference historical
for white privilege patriarchal
remembering and designing
left-brain dominant educational systems.
THESIS
Cooperative ecological economies
breed more organic networks
of permacultural health
and nutrition
and communication experience,
with a special historical preference
for ecofeminist Earth-empowered
deep learning
listening
noticing prime primal attachment relationships
between internal ego-
and external eco-
systemic balance,
harmony,
interdependent equity,
RightBrain HealthWealth Prominent,
liberal leftwing progressive,
freedom from isolated loneliness,
depression,
repression,
suppression,
AND
LeftBrain WealthHealth Dominant,
conservative rightwing defensive,
freedom to impressively
robustly
compassionately
nutritiously thrive
without eating the less brilliantly aristocratic help
and remembering to at least say
Please and Thank You and You Are Welcome,
is where civil rights end
and co-responsively begin.
No healthy humane man
of mature integrity
is a disenchanted island.
No individual is entirely orphaned.
Even an island has an associated understory,
below water's surfing surface
lie deeply rooted
anciently fertile connections.
And above water's surface
birds migrate outdoor voices
and digestive tracts
and trends
visit,
co-invest regenerativity
of ocean tides
and wind storms.
Those who celebrate only their autonomous island-ness,
are those who do not actively include
how we already live as multicultural peninsulas
leading back to mainland ancient healthy multicultures
and leading forward
to where we can once again
applaud diversely landscaped roots
fertile soil and soul migrations
visitors of nutritiously remembering curiosity
co-invested leaders in courageous fertile multi-solidarity
on this one planet island
Earth revolving within an interdependent sanctuary orbit
of synergetic understory,
Milky Way of warm wet soiled and souled
enchanting
surfing maternal womb memories
of ocean tides
as wind storms.
If we feed our soil and root systems
more nutritiously balanced meals
than we feed ourselves
through mouth,
but also nose,
ears,
eyes,
skin,
mindbodies,
we might all learn and live long enough
to absorb
commune
communicate
cooperate
more ecotherapeutically effective,
self with other optimizing,
perpetuating
co-arising co-gravitating
a more polyculturally dense menu
of healthy intent
and multicultural diet
of wealthy robust content.
Will you,Eat me; eat me,
please, like A piece,
of Reese's Pieces,
chocolate pleasure,
I melt in your mouth,
I am that Kit-Kat,
who will satisfy,
your whatchamacallit,
to make the Skor, on
Your Nutroll,
and go nutritiously,
nutrageous,
over my babyruth,
for you are, that mounds,
of full almond joy..
