Rewrite


Reasoning

Once while I was resting, musing
Mugging flowers and juggling clouds
Watched a Bee discussing honey
Right before his entrance hive
Dancing there the weirdest jive

Bobbing up and down transcended
Till his gorge was near upended
Directions to a field of plenty
Shallow wiggles, steps and stroll
Then disappeared into the hole

A throng flew out like piranha
Stripping the field of nectars manna
Collecting honey just like money
Until they cleaned the very source
All this without, a touch remorse

Struck me odd when in compare to
Ways that our humanity fare

"Once while I was resting, musing

sounds like the Greenwich Village to me.



I thought for a second I had a flashback, but then? when the village was kicking? I think I was like, aged SEVEN.

but yeah, man, I was there....giggle, kicking my brother's shin and saying

"Mom wants you home NOW!"

(I do tease yanno. But if it gets me hugs?)

hey....



and ooh



*chuckle*

"mugging flowers"

as if you'd haveta!

It is the last line that scares me about this race Sy, as it gets worse and worse in this world.

You sir, are a walking book of lessons.  To Isabel, a Happy Mother's Day!

  a pleasure this rainy day
     to know i can come here
        and  always leave with
    a smile, and warmth   and some
   times  a little smarter and wiser
       thanks sir

My spirit will rise
above the sea~
There will be no drowning
of my soul or me~

Reasoning: the bees work so hard! While they collect the honey they pollinate all the plants ... if humans were as unselfish as bees we would surely have a better distribution of the world's goods ...

Thank you dear Seymour for the bee-reflection!

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Love and hugs.
Margherita
