Today's Poem

The Hive

Within the hive a thousand songs
Of work and play, of rights and wrongs
The speakers and the passers-by
The ones who win, the ones who try

A closer look and all is new
The ones you thought were small now grew
And what of those who had the power?
Confusion reigns, their lives turned sour

Why is the hive in disarray?
Why can't these creatures find the way?
A question since the dawn of time
We'll live and die within this rhyme

And where's the exit? Why so hard?
Who will deal the winning card?
The cries and blood will not give in
The minds of all now believe they'll win

The hive has reached the time of hope
A vision must come to help us cope
A vision with calm and peace to bring
To save the hive, to quell the sting
