We live in hives
Cramped and stacked on top of one another
Filling our nests with honey
Building homes for our young

Of all that we have earned
He gobbles it all up
Honey trickles from his chin
Wasting all we have worked for
He wipes it away with his domineering claws
And reaches for more

Like a pendant, slipping from the chain, the tension has caught me in this moment, bestowing one last gift of reflection. I cling desperately, questioning my purpose. Searching for comfort. And I remember…
