Stolen Honey Poem by Saiom Shriver

Like factory workers are bees
who work tirelessly all day
only to have their labors' fruits
stolen and receive no pay.

Humans often queenwings clip
so that with their hives they can't away slip.
Worker bees often crushed in the racks
as the trays slip from their tracks.

Some 'owners' in fall wipe out
the whole hive
rather than feeding their own food
to those who strive.

They also often leave
their hives unprotected
so that remaining bees
freeze in winter.

Chemical and insecticide multinationals
have been killing frogs and bees
butterflies and fireflies for money.
Poisonous is nonorganic honey.

The design for the brilliant
geodesic dome
came from the Goddesigned
hexagonal honeycomb.

How magnificent that
these architects with wings
trillions of times over
create this perfect thing.
