To bee or not to bee?

To bee or not to bee?

I am a loyal worker bee

I do not serve the likes of me

There is more merit to my life

For all my youth

I serve the hive

I am a cheery worker bee

I do not feel the misery

In which I note some others writhe

I am content

I serve the hive

I am an eager worker bee

I rise at 6, and break at 3

And when I leave the place at 5

It is complete

I serve the hive

I am a focused worker bee

It's only sometimes that I see

That despite my innate drive

There's little else

But serve the hive

I am a fearful worker bee

I can't afford what you call 'free'

And so I can never strive

For anything

But serve the hive
