"Apology to the Wasps" by Sara Llittlecrow-Russell

This poem used the simple analogy of the wasp stinging a person. To incorporate, her point of view of what nations and countries are doing to others, and how one fails to see the other side being only blinded by the ignorance and selfishness, that people think about.

When a person is stung by a bee or a wasp, they only think about how much hurt that was experienced, and that the wasp should die, for whatever reason--either not to sting again or to others, or just out of pure anger and hate. Because we look at situations and things from a larger and more broader view, we tend to fail seeing the other side of the situation, and sometimes a truer reason for that action.

In some cases people can and do see the other side, but tend to view the other side as "wasps" or something unhuman, making it almost a reason for people to justify the action of trying to kill the other. And thus, in turn disreguarding all aspects.
