How doth the little bee
strive so fretlessly
to build such a saccharine comb?
And with such ease
by the end he is pleased
he has built himself a home
How doth the little bee
Fly himself Free
When he is hardly ever alone?
And with his wings
The wind upbrings
him; and all his own.
How doth the little bee
not fly so carelessly
with such a beautious vision abroad?
And with all thine seas
I myself would be pleased
but the bee, clearly, is not.
How doth the little bee
not fly so recklessly
In a world so dearly distraught?
And with all the disease,
terrorists, and enemies
the bee still follows his plot.
How doth the little bee
not cry when he sees
all the great and horrible sights...
And with humans, you see,
they try, hard as he
to hold back, with all of their might.
How doth the little bee
sleep so soundfully
with all the monsters that lurk in the night?
And with such ease
He evades enemies
With the irony of his bite.
(And) How doth the little bee
ever find himself free
When he is clearly never alone?
The answer is, he,
As well as you and me,
Has discovered a world, all his own.

- Absolutely genius. I would call it nothing less. You've earned my honest admiration, and so far, you're the first person to write a poem that I can't find a way to make any better.
