We Are One

 Unfolding

We alight on the petal, we alight on the bud

Too early

We need to wait

We need to anticipate the unfolding

For it is with the unfolding, our job begins

Perhaps tomorrow will be the day

Well anyway, we will wait for another day

 

Concealed

Some of us live nearby you

Some of us are in hollowed out trees, some of us are behind the sheathing of your house, some of us accumulate below the ground

Some of us you know when we’re around, by our sound

We try to stay concealed, we try to stay out of your minds-eye

 

Work

But by and by when the sun comes out and the flowers burst forth

We go to work

From flower to flower, from tree to tree

You see, we know we have an important job to do

 

Drop

Now just like you we get thirsty

We alight on a blade of grass

Will we be fortunate or will we gasp

For upon the grass there is a leftover drop

We inhale it, we cannot stop

 

Defend

Now you are brought up to view us, with fear

We the Bees of the Land want you to understand, we have a job to do

That’s what we do

We’re really not all that interested in you, for we go about our business, we know the name of the game

But just the same if you choose to come too close, if you choose to come within our vicinity, we too will choose to protect ourselves

No, it is not an attack, for that is not what we do

We choose to defend

 

Consume

For at the end of the day we have a job to display

And anyway, you can thank us later

For our labours help you to do, what you do

And much of what we do affects what you are able to do, and that is eat and that is consume

 

Labour of Love

Within our hives, we strive to produce food for us

Now for some of you who choose to enter the hive, to receive the Golden Nectar from inside

You too choose to complete the neatly packed Golden Syrup

That is no ordinary Golden Syrup, it is a Labour of Love

For that Labour Love has protection qualities

As you ingest, its always for the best

Some of you choose to ingest on your toast

Some of you choose to boast its addition to a remedy or two

For you are convinced it helps you to feel better

 

A Necessity

Just like some of you, we too protect our Queen

For it would seem she is a necessity

For within the hive if we are to strive to have a chance of survival, protecting the Queen at all costs, is not lost on any of us

For the hive works together

It is like One Mind

We are the kind to communicate through to each member of the hive, so we can strive to continue to survive, no matter what is thrown in our direction

 

Truce

We the Bees of the Land want you all humans to understand, what you put on the Land affects us all

We are calling for a truce

For if we are to continue to be of any use, our numbers need to increase

For at this point our numbers continue to decrease

For those of you who are not close to the Bee population, who do not notice the connection between the Earth and us, who do not notice the connection between what you eat and what gets completed within the Plant Cycle, we are here to say, you should all be dismayed

For what is presently being displayed upon the Land, we want you to understand, is detrimental to all

 

Spread Around

We call on all farmers the large and the small, think of your practices do they stay local or do they spread around

If you no longer hear the buzzing sound, what does that mean

Some of you feel it in your spleen, some of you feel it in your gut

There’s a concern there, a deep fear

We the Bees of the Land want you to understand, if we could write in the sky we would, if we could write on the Earth we would

If we could right a might, that is more powerful than us, we would

 

Warning Sign

We rely on the voices of others

To discover a warning sign

Be inclined to see the sign, also be inclined to step up to the plate

Also, be inclined to integrate all of the messages that have come as of late and ensure that you are not too late

Many species speak to us

Whether they’re close by or far away

For they are also here to say, what happens to us, affects them as well

Many species learn to adapt some do not

 

It’s About You

We the Bees of the Land want you to understand, we see the future, we know the past

We like you, want to last as long as we can

Now this lasting for us is not about us, it is about you

For we sacrifice ourselves for you

So be the future, know what that means

For the scenes you see today, will not display the scenes without the Bee, don’t you see

Allow the Bee to be your future

To Bee or not to Bee that is the question

Do you have an answer, do you see the future

 

Ripple Effect

The Bees wait for your answer, the Bees wait for you to take a stand

It’s all about the Land, it’s all about you

All we ask of you is to stand up for the Land, stand up for the Bees

For if you stand up for the Bees, you will soon see it has a Ripple effect

 

Changes in Your Reality

We the Bees of the Land want you to understand, we see the changes in your reality, do you

We also see what you will choose to do

Blessed are you, blessed are the Bees, don’t you see

Each of you are all part of the We

And We are One
