REACH FOR THE SKY

While worker bees in their hives make honey

the queens are thriving and making money

 

in full metal jackets the workers live

spent shells to remind us to regret but forgive.

 

Now the keepers come in their suits

avoiding stings and natural disputes.

Thanks for that about the audio David. When you know someone really well there is a depth , another layer perhaps that comes through -one of the plusses!

Thanks Kevin. It feels a responsibility I agree to take on such emotive subject matter, but I felt I had to use that idea!

Cheers David. We're on a similar level obviously and nice to get your take on this one.

Well read too, by the way. Another thing I couldn't do.

I wouldn't have known what it was about without the audio, but it makes perfect sense. I could never even attempt to write anything topical for fear of trivialising it, but this is a fitting tribute. I like the idea of comparing a tower block to a bee hive.
Cheers Kevin
