POEM STARTER
‘Bees offer honey far more readily than they sting.’

Another Thought
Bees offer honey far more readily then they sting
And to think it’s such a simple thing
It’s like people most days now
When most family’s could be showing how
To treat others with kindness and respect
They teach a kid their neighbour weakness to dissect
The world of today is twisted that way
Bring chaos and ruin, oh but hey,
It’s everyone for themselves why care about others?
Why not just shove instead of helping our sister and brothers?
Now please don’t misunderstand if you see it different
But from my perspective the world is rifted
No one can agree and people look for mistakes
Why not just let it be and ignore the ranks?
But if this what people want
Who am I to tell the no, this is after all just a thought
