How he loves to taunt and
play with your mind
wrangling plausibility
in such away
you even had to ask;
he’s totally mordacious
so slick and smooth of tongue
a gas-lighter of old,
but always remember
what goes around comes around,
and though this social bee is
buzzing with glee,
always
after the sting,
the bee dies.

Yes, the bee dies, which is a great metaphor for change rather than just actual death. Thank you .
