So I've been teaching my class about how glorious and important bees are to Earth. To get them hooked, I wrote a poem about bees to inspire them to question what really matters in the big scheme of things in this thing we call life.
What's a world without bees?
Google it!
Just A Bee
I’m just a bee
I buzz around
I nest in hives
or underground
I’m just a bee
I rarely sting
I do not buzz
with boastful wings
I’m just a bee
I know no spite
A zillion friends
and me in flight
I’m just a bee
I fertilise
the blooming world
beneath our skies
I’m just a bee
I don’t see red
I nectar-hunt
I pollen-spread
I’m just a bee
A busy bee
Oblivious
that you need me
