Save the bees

This world is mad
But there's beauty to be had
History is temporary
But you and I, we know.
We live the life exemplary.
But still we watch the wastelands grow.
 
And ask "what's the one thing we can do
That'll actually make a change"?
Preserve the pillars of society
But the rest of it, rearrange
 
The pollenators: the bees, beetles and moths,
The hoverflies and butterflies and other flies
We calulate the cost
Everybody needs them, The Muslims and Jews, Buddhists and Christians, sikhs and hindus
All men of the cloth
From billionaires vying to be first dick in space to the, by now, understandably fed-up and done-with-it all Taliban who despite reconquering their country, after it's desertion by imperialist protectors, find that much of it's beauty remains. Even after so much violence: if we nurture Afghanistan it will grow again, better than before. That's what we're here for)
I remember when ISIS was goddess of the moon, of life and of magic. her Father was of the Earth and her Mother was of the sky
We all need to come together
And fulfill our destiny
As attendants of this planet
We need to live in peace
 
First thing I wanna say is
Let's save the bees
Let's save the bees
I'm asking you
Begging you
Whimpering
 
Please
I'm down on my dirty assed ragged fucking knees
I'll respect your diety
I'm sure you'd do the same for me
If I had one
And you'll be there for me
If I need you to be
And I'll be there for you
Like you want me to be
 
We can disagree on everything
From Tucker Carlson's worth
To whether life truly begins
At conception or at birth
It begins with pollination
It's more important than your nation
Or immediate family
Or all the money you can make
From disaster capitalism
 
 
Left wing, right wing working together
There's beauty in all things
Future is for ever
It's not hard to compromise
Tolerate those whom you may despise
For that's the way
Of the World
The yang and the yin of it
There's bad and there's good in it
Original sin
gunga din
Cooperation in our situation
May yet be preferable
To certain death
Save the bees
Save the bees
 
No
New
Destruction
 
I'm asking you
Begging you
Trembling
Whimpering
Please
I'll do anything
In the knowledge
That you have a share of the haulage
And won't give up in bad weather
We'll ruffle those feathers forever
Left and the right
Together in flight
 
History is temporary
Save the bees
 
Nature abhors a vacuum but loves a network or four
Mycillium, neural pathways, the internet and the distribution of galaxies
 
Saving the bees
Saving the bees
I'm asking you
Begging you
I'm down on my knees
My bottom lip is quivering
I've got puppy dog eyes
I'll happily work together
With people I despise.
