Mother Nature has her bag of secrets
\nAnd in it mutualists are often found
\nThe problem is that human beings
\nAre ridiculously ignorant
\nThey only think of themselves
\nWhich just may sound
\nArrogant of me to even suggest this
\nBut take the cattle market
\nThe meat trade
\nNothing matters they steam full ahead
\nAnd make their profit
\nAnd cut through Natures magickal parade<\/p>\n
The Agave cactus cries out for pollination
\nAnd, the long nosed BAT Apparently
\nLives in caves in colonies and loves the sweetest nectar
\nIts elongate tongue and muzzle
\nHelps it free
\nAll that lovely sweetness
\nThe century plant where Tequilla is obtained
\nthey distill the juice
\nAnd make the famous spirits
\nThis is why the mutualists have gained<\/p>\n
A high regard for being part of Nature
\nAs the bats feed pollen grains adhere
\nTo Their fur like bodies making fertilisation
\nNot only possible but bringing cheer
\nFor 10000 years they have been manufacturing
\nPulque Mezcal Jalisco and the rest
\nDo you think you will miss your margarita\u2019s
\nIts all down to the Bat
\nWho is the best<\/p>\n
The problem is the cattle boys are ignorant
\nI have always thought that everywhere they go
\nMeet the MEAT trade everything they do is arrogance
\nconservation they know nothing all they know is how to moan
\nAlways after subsidies everywhere they have shown
\nContempt for other beings animal and man
\nAnd thinking the bats were vampires
\nSo these fools began<\/p>\n
To go into the caves and spray their pesticides
\nAbout
\nReading too many horror films
\nTheir brains are at a drought
\nStage I am very sorry, that is what they do
\nKill off what they think is bad for them
\nAnd without a clue<\/p>\n
Kill off many long nosed bats
\nNectar swilling souls
\nThey don\u2019t want the meat trades blood
\nMutualists have goals
\nIn a sense they are macrobiotic
\nAs created, so they be
\nAnd killing colonies in the caves
\nIts crucial you can see<\/p>\n
Agave flowers few friends around
\nMurdered as they sleep
\nBy the arrogant ignorant farmers
\nof course they make me weep
\nAs ignorant as the day is long
\nAgave sadly might
\nLose out altogether
\nAnd die in the sunlight<\/p>\n
Then what about tequila
\nThe Mexicans for they
\nthe pulque and the Mezcal
\nIts what they do all day
\nIts traditional and constant
\nA culture of the brave
\nDistillation magic
\nWill my poem save<\/p>\n
Their bacon we must wait and see
\nCattle at a cost
\nNot only carbon at a high
\nBut methane too is lost
\nWater usage terrible
\nLand where cattle be
\nCould be used to plant more food
\nFor humans then we would see<\/p>\n
How much Better in the long run
\nInstead it looks to me
\nAs if cattle men are the culprits
\nAnd will have to be
\nbloody well eliminated
\nOtherwise of course
\nIf bats all die
\nAgave will die too and thats no lie<\/p>\n
Long nosed bats they pollinate
\nAll kinds of other plants
\nEaten by moths and lizards
\nAnd when songbirds get a chance
\nField mice too may fade away
\nTheir secret foods eliminated
