I think more people should look into the life cycle of wasps,

And how at this time of year hormones are making them insatiable, and confused

I wish I had known this years ago

I thought they were angry,

But they’re homeless, hungry, and their life is about to end

The next generation is born and waiting for next spring

Today for the first time in my life I let a wasp land on me and stay

With this new information my world view of them changed

And it didn’t sting me, I just stayed very still

I was no less terrified,

But my heart knew this creature needed patience and space

I can be scared out of my wits and still as a tree

I hope that little one finds a good place to sleep

And go to paradise

I hope there is a paradise

They broke this one and teach the children to hate integral parts of nature

I want to go to a place where nature is put first
