Hunter Bees Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Persons tend to become arrogant and turn atheist when attain so much wealth and fame. It is natural phenomena and comes with the sudden attainment of unseen wealth. The supreme lord has also kept one stick to correct such people. In normal times when tide is in his favor then everything will go well unexpectedly. Even if you do a wrong thing then also things might turn right for you.

I was allotted with Government waste land on retirement form the armed forces. I had to make lots of efforts to make it cultivable. I employed lots of labourers for the purpose. I use to go daily on site and supervise the work done by them. One day when workers were on the job then suddenly one hunter bee came and sudden struck on my face and made big humming noise. Since workers were from village and knew the behaviors of bees, they suddenly shouted all the people at work to lie down on the ground to escape their attack. I was just back from military service and took affront to such move. Meanwhile hunter bees attacked me with big force and started biting me on the face and all parts of the body.


The quality and symptom of hunter bees are that they come and attack once, make noise and report back to their companions. They will just multiply and attack with more force. This happens so because if they are antagonized then they won’t see whether it is human being, animals or any living being. They will continuously attack till the person is dead. Even if you run and hide in the water then also they will hover over water and attack the moment you take out your head.


I just didn't loose my head and thought of escaping unhurt. I prayed God and ran toward my bike, thinking that I may take ride and go away. The bees followed me, making several bites and making me half dead. Still I continued the quest and reached the spot. The moment I started the bike, the wind stopped them from following me with speed. I just escaped assassination attempt by bees.


I just narrated this incidence because getting the land from the Government had made me to think little proud. Since it had come to me as gift but still it had created a superior complex in mind.


So I take this opportunity to express my belief in Almighty that whatever be the fortune HE endows on you must be accepted with grace and not feel so arrogant about it.
