honeybees
will swarm a
hornet
and while
the bees have
no stingers
in which to
defend themselves
they have learned
to ball around
the invasive
predator and
flex their
flight muscles
generating
enough heat
to cook the hornet
alive

there is a
lesson here
of the seemingly
defenseless
majority
banding together
to defeat
the ruling
minority
of understanding
sometimes
you have to
endure a little pain
in order to slay
the would be
masters

viva la platypus
viva la honeybee
