Who People Are

Bees offer honey far more readily than they sting. The choir’s chats about dinner far more readily than they sing My mothers offers her hands to hug far more readily than to slap Peasants offer bread far more readily than the king Royalty offers forgiveness far more readily than the sling The point is we sing Far more readily than we scream Who people are is not what they seem We are kind and loving and offer ourselves readily With honey and talk and bread and things Like bees offer honey Far more than they sting
