Mortal Birds and Nasty Bees

The "Birds and the Bees talk" (sometimes known simply as "The Talk") is generally the event in most children's lives in which the parents explain what sexual relationships are.

Mortal Birds and Nasty Bees

Hindsight may bring understanding

But does not resolve or excuse

The absence of unspoken knowledge

Not divulged by elders to our youth

Idiomatic euphemistic dim expressions

Pertained to courting and copulation

Disguise smoke screened evil realities

For unprepared immature innocence

Hypnotically groomed by false promises

With lures of laurels and quick riches

Escape from social obscurity seems real

Thus setting a devious disguised ambush

Under wings of satanic heinous vultures

The silent traumatised trafficked sinless

Fly victim into depraved demonic hives

Concealed behind dark windowless walls

Without support these tender hearted

May never be rescued from wickedness

And the many honey poisoned attractions

That ultimately will just crash and burn

Observations through a one way mirror

Chanting rhetoric from a safe distance

Never will resolve pressing social issues

If left to fester from non political action

From base zero of life pedagogy lessons

All available education must be extolled

To prepare and protect future generations

From corruptions of today’s greedy elite

Author's Note

Pedagogy, taken as an academic discipline, is the study of how knowledge and skills are exchanged in an educational context, and it considers the interactions that take place during learning.

but even educated...often what seems to just come from inside is greed, never having enough...as Sheryl Crow sang.. maybe she wasn't talking about money or possessions...but possessing in a physical sense.
"it isn't needing what you want, it's wanting what you've got"

but when young ones grow up seeing greed...it does get ingrained...we do what we see.

lots of meat in your poem ... i like the tidy quatrain structure and free flowing rhythm ... the rhyme thrown in in V1 L2 and 4 ... make it a treat ... very strong use of contrast .. my thoughts and memories of the sex talk with my own are of honesty and fun ... that from me Da lasted about 3 minutes ..was nerve wracking and embarrassment ... but God bless him ... he tried ;)
but your poem is about the dangers of something good and wholesome to something evil and destructive ... i think the primary job for that comes from the home and parents ...not the Feds .. but that is just me ... the elite are not the only ones to fall to greed and avarice ... we can inordinately love sex, money, power, prestige etc ... all can be fine until they become to great a want in our lives ... nothing wrong with having a lot of any of those things ... its just the place we give them in our lives .. your poem has gotten me thinking and evaluating meself this morning so good on ya!

Sophisticaded manifesto. It gives words sensation to relish. Stimulates the taste. There are so many physical indulgences in the world that education is almost anathema. If we don‘t restore education as a kind of sacred totem then there is not much hope for us. So any new patterns of thoughts and ideas? Very well done, thank you.
