Final Devotion Poem by Saiom Shriver

Final Devotion



Honeybees protecting their
hives
die after giving humans
their sting.

Drone bees protecting their
species survival
die after mating their queen...
in air a final swing.

Salmon in a 'last full measure
of devotion' swim upstream
to spawn...
and die in the cold spring.
