Inspiration: bees voted to be the most important living beings on earth

I never work in darkness friend Evil hunts in shadows Give me a sunny meadow dancing jolly, kissing flowers now I stand quivering gossamer wings narcissistic greed mongers, corrupted build towers where neons flash sold their putrid souls for cash the prophet said perish thee for you can’t eat money words of change died in silence Trees don’t tremble, flowers don’t cry I know my time is near Last night I had a dream the last bee dead I’m mounted on display 10,000 drones replaced me doing what I gave for free there is no hope in silence Wastrels write on tenement walls their words failed to convey blind and deaf to my dismay communications more than words deathly silence screams the answer Written 5/8/2019 NA the Day Away - Sponsor Lu Loo Placed 3rd with thanks

Caren, so grateful for feedback. Did not make it in to the comp in time. I was reading it to my partner and got teary. He did say Im pretty intense. Some poems have a tiny sliver of heart injected in to them.

This is really good, I too didn’t place but got a thoughtful note from John. I enjoyed your piece very much.

Thank you for your compliment Richard. I enjoyed yours too. I cut it too fine. Alas, I did not make it in to the contest.
