By Zeenat Khan
Imagine the first bee
Imagine the world before
Imagine the sunflowers host
Now move a little, turn and yearn
see its garden, garbed in green
How Van Gogh would have
painted the sunflower, imagine
How sunflowers would have
been without bees, imagine.
.
Imagine the first bee
Imagine the world before
Imagine the honey without bees
Imagine the life without this
Imagine the ancient tombs of Egypt
Archaeologists marvel to visit
How the dead would have been
embalmed without honey, imagine.
.
So, Imagine, Imagine
Imagine this poem without bees
Imagine a swarm of poems, look, see,
of flowers, of honey, of bud, of dead,
of lives, without bees, imagine
Imagine the world without bees.
Imagine!
