Into the mind of the hive
From the Queen, walking a line cut with a whisker
Between sanity and subtle harmony

This wave of wings, inwardly chatting
Learning like blind revolution
Unsure of propulsion, but constantly changing
Tuning the hive to the mind

Carefully watch this body of drones
Spin with perpetual motion
For gravity catches these spiralling clones
And rivets them to conformity

The more the hive changes, the less the drones feel
When the Queen rips out their wings
Stark vision prevents them from knowing what's real
When another Queen learns how to sing

So if you hear the whispers of some artful melody
Through superficial insight you must learn how to survive
Beware the fated sirens that would seek to set you free
Or be caged within the paradox

The Hive

Topic: oops

A silent scream, sung with one whisper
Into the mind of the hive
From the Queen, walking a line cut with a whisker
Between sanity and subtle harmony

This wave of wings, inwardly chatting
Learning like blind revolution
Unsure of propulsion, but constantly changing
Tuning the hive to the mind

Carefully watch this body of drones
Spin with perpetual motion
For gravity catches these spiralling clones
And rivets them to conformity

The more the hive changes, the less the drones feel
When the Queen rips out their wings
Stark vision prevents them from knowing what's real
When another Queen learns how to sing

So if you hear the whispers of some artful melody
Through superficial insight you must learn how to survive
Beware the fated sirens that would seek to set you free
Or be caged within the paradox
The unforgiving hive

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
