Painting by Me in Mspaint.

This is the first time in the battle field,
I have lost to my enemies,
Still won my fellow men hearts,
I have survived the battle of honey bees,

On this second attempt, I am going to win,
During the clashes of the swords,
I paid no heed to the blood red.
I have taken the darkest of the roads.

Tearing apart the enemies colony,
I showed no emotion,
On the battle field I was an animal,
The worst of it’s kind.

The sharpest of my sword they really felt,
This battle is so much filled with blood,
Thousands of dead bodies are only left,
I am possessed by the ghost of death.

My enemies’ death was the only thought in my mind,
I quenched my thirst with their blood,
After wining, in my heart, peace I still cannot find,
The dead man screams in my mind flood.

Yo Prasad,

Please take it easy on the bees my man.  I used to raise bees.  If you want their honey, make some smoke.  They will think their hive is on fire, and try to fill their stomachs with honey, to carry it away to a new hive.

When a bee's stomach is filled with honey, they can't sting.

Nice picture, BTW.

I am terrified of those little suckers!  Loved Bobby's advise.  By the way, your curves concept would make an absolutely, awesome tattoo.  Great art!

Yo Bobby, yes, I will take your advice. Next time I see them. Bobby this poem is from the book I am writing about a Bee Knight who is fighting this war against his rival colony. I am glad you liked my painting. The name of the book is Bee Hive Stories. Prasad

Prasad don't be too hard on those bees
for they are one of the most important
animals on earth. If they were not here to pollinate the flowers we'd have no fruit or vegies or no crops, but I did enjoy your poem.

Hi Lindsay, I know bees are good to the nature and of course to us, it’s just that I hate them when they sting. I am glad you enjoyed my poem. Prasad
