Bees and Neonicotinoids

The Bee is up against it
from so many
who set their eyes on profit
at all cost
these wondrous little insects
pollinate our food crops
and get a dusting
of whatever’s tossed

or sprayed around our green fields
and our meadows
now there’s something
for us all to share
Neonicotinoids dangerous
pesticides
and Bee’s are coming off the
worse for wear

They don’t get safely back
and the phenomena
of colony collapse syndrome is here
there are many other reasons
why Bee’s are getting stressed
But pesticides are one
that breeds great fear

Bayer sends its lobbyists
around the place
and despite the bans around
in Italy
Britain seems to want to
risk and the tragedy now unfolding
is getting worse
and it who knows where it could be

Bee numbers are falling
quite dramatically
at this rate who knows
just where they could go
If food crops are not pollinated
yields will drop for sure
and we could see food prices
rise and grow

out of all proportion to consumers
they would not be able to afford
that could lead to such unrest
and riots possibly at best
and all because we didn’t want to know
