Pt. 1
I am a clumsy giant
Oblivious to worlds below.
*Outside, outside is so nice!
Awake, rejuvinate me!
Oh! The beauty!
Even the air is greener,
On the other side here
Oh living our lives indoors
Was an unhappy accident of genius
Oh to spend days with trees and grass!*
-- A sudden stab. A pause.
Lifted leg reveals
Buried, ensnared in foot
Handsome bee,
Buzzing for escape
One more wriggle
And it's gone. To die.
*Oh! Back we go we go!
To hide from the cruel world!
Away from bees
And wasps and stings
Such mildly inconvenient things.
- And off the bee went to die.*
Pt. 2
Such short lived pain for me
Is death for one of the hive
This wound I lament
Will heal so shortly
Yet its cause
Will surely die
The life the cost
A life is lost!
Yet my pain is all I can see
Hives collapse
Honey ramsacked!
They're fed with sugar tea
Pesticidal pollen
Oh ain't disease rotten!
The strife of the honey bee.
I am a clumsy giant...

Thinking of experimenting this into an artsy song...
