Look at that humble bee.

working hard with such a glee

A wasp nearby poked.

"Why getting tired in sun? For stroke?!"

"We work hard to collect the nectar.

And roam about from flower to flower.

We do it heartedly," said the bee.

"And it's the identity we wanted to be."

"What do you get in return? he said

For toil and hardship, you don't get paid."

"We turn that nectar in Honey so pure

Which people use it as medicine and cure.



Your house is a replica of our home.

Though it's made with mud and paper.

but you can't make it a honeycomb.

cause you live your life like draper"

There are these types of people around.

The one who toils for others.

They help the other being on all ground.

so other being doesn't have to bothers.

and some are like wasp you see.

who copies the bees in looks and style!

But they don't help others like the bee.

Small gestures of help they count as mile.
