Blue Bee Once upon a time, they say Something did happen. Whatever that was, it was worth telling. The spoken word, those 'fairy' tales were news. Storytellers were salesmen selling A truth, a lie, gossip mixed with fantasy A warning or thought-out idea. They were not aware, didn't care About how their words affected Corrected people's behaviour. Making people believe is easy. All you need to do is tell something new, Trigger the imagination or better spread fear. Say for example the end of the world is near. Imagine you live in a small community where never ever anything happens. Each day is the same. Life is a struggle without fun, without fame. There's no internet, phone, radio or tv Trust me, in that case, the storyteller is more than welcome. As he arrived the entire village hurried, Gathered to hear Young and old listened till the end Of the story told by that man, A person who travels. Today we all travel. If not in person we can do so with help of a book, a magazine, the tv Internet or a movie. We watch and meet different people, and see Animals like the blue bee On our screen. We watch, sometimes read. We even believe We can help feed Those on the other part of the planet. We feel great but by doing that We forget Those living Suffering Next door. Once upon a time, we might have cared Shared But these days are definitely gone. Those close communities are done. No one needs a storyteller today We rather stay Inside, glued to the screen, gaming online Stating we have no time To interact in real life with others. Because in reality we envy or hate Or we are afraid of our fellow humans Plus... we all can spread the 'news' ourselves. *A Merry Christmas* *24-12-2023* *The photo was taken by me*.
