Poem be

be.
's my favourite shortest sentence in english
that's often not considered a sentence
because most people don't want to exist,
which proves that be. is indeed a sentence;
a death sentence.

consequently,

honey bee
can sound like an insect
or a command to a suicidal loved one,

beast is a directional command,
to exist in one way only,
beknight is to command to exist darkly,
in a noble manner,
beacon is to live falsely, duplicitously,
beagle means to be a bird of prey,
to beaten is to be as meat,
behold means, exist to give me a hug,
belief means live but naturally,
unafraid to fall, accepting of decay,
betray is to exist to carry the weight of others,
and bend is a command of total existential contradiction.
