O sweet thrumming sisters,
Dancing, flying, dousing,
prospecting,
Cross-pollinating, nectaring and
housekeeping.
Such an orderly selfless society.
Pledging allegiance to thy Queen,
Her regal agile squadrons
Tending Mother’s heavenly Plant
Kingdom.
And in return, such delectable nutritious bounty!
Gold(en) oh honey, pungent,floral,
perfumed.
Sanctified shamanic antiseptics:
Cataracts, conjunctivitis, chills,
fever.
Vitamins, minerals mimicking human blood serum!
Elixir and panacea.
Sleep, dream, learn, respond.
Mathematicians, engineers, makers, defenders,
Quorum seekers, voters, workers,
citizens.
Sensitive, sad, loyalists, accurate frontline
indicators.
Pernicious manmade nerve poisons
abound.
Destruction, death, extinction.
Love thy Queen, Love thy Mother,
Or, worship thy “golden calf.”
Save our sentient humming sistren,
now or never!
