Bee's Don't Bother!
In this concise poem, the wisdom of nature speaks volumes. Using the bee's unspoken superiority over the fly as a metaphor, it explores the futility of arguing with those who cannot appreciate what is truly valuable. With a touch of humor and a dash of insight, this piece is determined to remind us that some truths are self-evident and need no defense—just as the sweetness of honey is beyond dispute for those who know its worth.
Some folks won't see what's clear and true,
Their minds are stuck in what they do.
A bee won't bother to explain
Why sweetness tops what flies disdain.
For some are blind to finer things,
They chase the muck where bitterness clings.
So let them buzz in filth and grime—
A bee knows honey's worth its time.
2nd version:
Some minds are set, no words break through,They cling to muck and think it’s true.
A bee won’t stoop to argue why
Its golden sweetness shames the fly.
While flies adore what’s foul and grim,
A bee just hums and leaves them dim.
No need to fuss or prove what’s sweet—
The wise know well, and move on fleet.
