Birds and Bees.





We listen when the world informs:

“To be yourself, you must conform”

“Love the bird, but hate the bee”

Though they both live in the same tree

They don’t seem to hate each other

They don’t mind that they’re not brothers.

They could choose to fight, but they are aware

They both help guard the home they share.

Seems like we could learn some stuff

The birds and the bees share, and have more than enough

They don’t act off a first impression,

So they don’t respond to each other with aggression.

There is a point to this analogy,

This metaphor relates to humanity.

So now im wondering, do you see?

If only we could be like the bird and the bee.
