Description A scathing bunch of narrow string
Depicts a bee, with biting sting
for knowing what we could never know
is not quite half the battle.

This cocky, yellow, glaring gasket
Tries its best to call your casket
for knowing what we could never know
is an instinct not possessed.

A tenacious organ pierces skin
To end something it did not begin
for knowing our limits is a rightful risk
not worth taking.

Bewildered, how it once had ruled
And has become some driveling drool
for not knowing our limits is a
virtue uncontained.

That's pretty good and I'm not one to read something then trash it because I believe in this.. why put someone's work down just because you don't like it or your jealous; so with that.. good job!

I will agree with you because I think poetry, and in fact art in general, is purely subjective. A thousand different people will interpret a single work in a thousand different ways.

Anyhow, thanks for commenting.
