Beeswax

Beeswax

A Poem by bigfootprint
"

I don't care until the sting swells up on me.

"
I don't begrudge
The billionaire
Some capitalists
View with envy.
He plays his game,
As do his heirs --
And the lawyer,
And bride make three.

But all must know
How patience wears
When honey bears
Rob his bee tree.
The bees swarm out
But I don't care
Until the sting
Swells up on me.

The billionaire
Beguiling swears,
"T'weren't me, call
My attorney."
Lawyer, bride, heirs 
With empty glares
Insist with glee,
"T'was bears, you see."

I enjoy a good fable, but sometimes the moral stings.
