The Human.
Supreme ruler of all earth.
Master of accumulation and dominion.
Yet driven by fear.
Plagued with doubt.
Weighed down by the burden of consciousness.
A slave to its feelings
Yet the fish of the sea, the fowl of the air, the beast of the earth, the BEE, knows no such fear. Has no doubts.
Much weight and responsibility rests on the wings of the bee but it does not question why.
It simply is and does.
Effortlessly carrying the Weight of Consciousness.
