inherent potentiality<br \/>\nEndowed with magic she<br \/>\nTranscending all of nature<br \/>\nSuch a temperament we see<br \/>\nWith every changing circumstance<br \/>\nEach opportunity<br \/>\nShe takes and makes her way in life<br \/>\nWith total constancy<\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;s remarkable and amazing<br \/>\nThough her life is very short<br \/>\nShe is delicate and special<br \/>\nGiven  a lot of  thought<br \/>\nShe has a lot of enemies<br \/>\nBut despite them carries on<br \/>\nWith her task of finding pollen<br \/>\nWhen much of it is gone<\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;s tasked with finding lots of it<br \/>\nFrom blossoms everywhere<br \/>\nSteadfastly she flies about<br \/>\nAnd,  she is aware<br \/>\nOf The  pesticides and herbicides<br \/>\nThat makes her feel forlorn<br \/>\nWhether to go back with her bounty<br \/>\nAnd infect the hive, she&#8217;s sworn<br \/>\nOf course to bring the pollen<br \/>\nSo the magic spells can be<br \/>\nWorked on in the haven of the wise<br \/>\nEssentially<\/p>\n<p>Man is most unkind to her<br \/>\nHe doesn&#8217;t help at all<br \/>\nHe comes to steal her bounty<br \/>\nAnd to overhaul<br \/>\nHer magic and her prowess<br \/>\nAnd all he leaves behind<br \/>\nAre bowls of refined sugar<br \/>\nFor all of them to find<\/p>\n<p>Aerodynamically she is not perfect<br \/>\nFor flying really she<br \/>\nHas a heavy body<br \/>\nAnd tiny wings<br \/>\nHer qi<br \/>\nIs she has so much energy<br \/>\nShe is on a high<br \/>\nHer wings spin till they hum out loud<br \/>\nAs she passes by<\/p>\n<p>And little baskets on her feet<br \/>\nTo collect the pollen there<br \/>\nAs she flies in to the hive sometimes<br \/>\nBrushes left, I swear<br \/>\nCan brush their tiny legs off<br \/>\nWith the pollen so to say<br \/>\nIt does cost her an arm and a leg<br \/>\nWhich is a lot to pay<\/p>\n<p>Man is after the pollen he sells that as well<br \/>\nSo all that work she puts in<br \/>\nMan unkind from hell<br \/>\nIs there to steal yet more of what she has<br \/>\nAnd does and she<br \/>\nIs clearly now exhausted<br \/>\nshe&#8217;s a very frustrated Bee<\/p>\n<p>Man then collects her honey<br \/>\nAnd leaves her little more<br \/>\nThan a taster what a waster<br \/>\nSo He steals more from the store<br \/>\nHoney is a bee food<br \/>\nIts never ours to take<br \/>\nBut now we farm them commercially<br \/>\nWe sweeten the cake<br \/>\nWe heat up in the oven<br \/>\nWhich degrades the honey and<br \/>\nAll the magic that they use<br \/>\nHow can they understand<\/p>\n<p>Honey is not for heating<br \/>\nHeat degrades it fast<br \/>\nHoney will last for 100 years<br \/>\nOr more are you aghast?<br \/>\nIt is an organic substance<br \/>\nAs pure as pure can be<br \/>\nIts properties are amazing<br \/>\nWhen consumed by the bee<\/p>\n<p>Of course the bees immunity<br \/>\nIs to be shot away<br \/>\nBy rewarding them with sugar<br \/>\nWhy do we make them pay<br \/>\nA price for all that effort<br \/>\nIt weakens them so much<br \/>\nAnd what with all our chemicals<br \/>\nAnd EMF we touch<br \/>\nTheir very souls and knowingly<br \/>\nDestroy them from within<br \/>\nWhen you buy a jar of honey<br \/>\nIn the market its a sin<\/p>\n<p>We are signing their death warrant<br \/>\nEvery single day<br \/>\nEven the bee keepers steal<br \/>\ntoo much  and run away<br \/>\nBees won&#8217;t forage in the rain<br \/>\nSo when we deplete their store<br \/>\nWe really and truly rub  it in<br \/>\nAnd they feel that more and more<\/p>\n<p>Sadly we have lost it<br \/>\nLost our power to be<br \/>\nCompassionate about our friends<br \/>\nWho slave  now constantly<br \/>\nImagine how this frustrates<br \/>\nI think of her when I<br \/>\nSee rows and rows of honey<br \/>\nOn the shelves<br \/>\nAnd I know why<\/p>\n<p>The bees are really starved of it<br \/>\nTheir miracle becomes<br \/>\nA sweetener for most of  us<br \/>\nThe ones doing their sums<br \/>\nMaking lots of profit<br \/>\nSelling the degraded kind<br \/>\nWhich is also fooling the public<br \/>\nHave we really lost our mind<\/p>\n<p>We torture and kill our best friend<br \/>\nJust so we can make more dough<br \/>\nWhen they die out we shall die out<br \/>\nThat I am afraid is so<br \/>\nAnd we can blame the corporates<br \/>\nWho have entered into the ring<br \/>\nCommercially making  a killing<br \/>\nPerhaps the final sting<\/p>\n<p>Yes perhaps the final sting!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>her inherent potentiality Endowed with magic she Transcending all of nature Such
