America’s a hive, a single brain,
Each mind a cell, each thought a vein.
Together we thrive, together we grow,
A symphony buzzing with all we know.
The schools are the workers, building the comb,
Creating the structure we all call home.
Feeding the young with wisdom’s sweet gold,
Preparing each bee for the world so bold.
But what becomes of the hive’s grand dream,
When cracks appear in the honeyed stream?
When some are fed and others denied,
The hive grows weak, its strength untied.
The schools face cuts; their lifeblood drained,
By leaders who see no knowledge gained.
Funds for the poor are cast aside,
While the privileged few take all in stride.
Special education left to decay,
No tools to help those lost in the fray.
Teachers stretched thin, their voices ignored,
As classrooms crumble and hope is floored.
Christian symbols now claim the walls,
Drowning truth in rigid calls.
Stories silenced, voices stilled,
A vibrant hive grows cold and chilled.
The queen of knowledge must reign supreme,
Her workers united in one shared dream.
Yet now the hive is under attack,
Its harmony fading, its future off track.
The honey of learning begins to dry,
As funding is cut and resources die.
Some cells flourish with golden light,
While others crumble into night.
And now a new force enters the hive,
A creed that claims it will revive.
One faith imposed on every cell,
Ignoring the stories they long to tell.
The drones of thought are silenced and still,
Replaced by a single unwavering will.
No room for questions or voices to sing,
Just one narrow path for every wing.
Without diversity, the hive won’t last—
Its golden age becomes the past.
For every bee must play its part,
To keep alive the hive’s great heart.
So let us rise and make our stand,
For knowledge that unites this land.
For every American bee that learns and grows,
Together we thrive, our strength forever shows.
The smarter every American bee,
The stronger we all shall be.
