Analysis of Bumblebee

Qoheleth1942 1942 (Quantico VA)



She’s disabled
I can relate
I call it random
Some call it fate
Struggle for life
Till energy’s spent
If there is grace
Something is bent
If God is love and
All power is he
Why, then, this outcome
For the poor bumblebee
You must admire
Her courage, her quest
She will fight on until
Death gives her rest
More than an insect
This bumble bee
When I’m looking at her
I’m, looking at me
--Qoheleth1942
