a dandelion
defying the pesticides
mocks the suns brilliance

valiant warriors
salutations to the sun
rooted in the now

Are you conscious 
Of what you eat?
Chemical meat, pesticides, and bones
Are you alone
What is the sacred
Investment in life?
Can we appreciate
The fruit of natures love?...

Sittin’ in the sun softly sighin’
Bees buzzin’  butterflies flyin’
Sharin’ their joy with the dandelion
Neighbors wonder why I’m smilin’
Don’t use no pesticides so nothin’s dyin’

Ants, do not invade my clean warm kitchen, please,
For I fear you are carrying some dreadful, exotic disease
When you find tiny cracks through which to squeeze,
My use of deadly pesticides will exponentially increase!

Poison the water supply 
And infect the crops with pesticides 
Everyone dies 
Doesn't matter if you smoke
Or liquor drink
Diet on sugar or fatty food
The healthy die like every other
Person who has lived a life of excess 
They just leave a better looking carcass 
And cleaner organ's 
If they chose to donate...

Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
your garden's a splendid show.
How do you get such massive crops,
I really want to know?

" With pesticides, insecticides
and chemicals all in a row.
I raise a finger to all the Greens,
then watch my treasures grow!"

The stores sold foods with pesticides
till everyone got sick.
And now the cancer's so damn bad
that everyone dies quick.

And even though we're pressed for time
we'll never give up sex.
Cause every time we go to do
our hormones rage complex.

And now that sex is even better
since death is coming soon.
We owe our sexy suicide
to appetites that spoon....

Staple diets tainted gray
still pesticides they spray
gallops horse of dapple grey 
fourth beast say, ”hell’s to pay”

 
as life bubbles into shape
for human illusion’s sake
two thousand twelve’s wake
Love in life is not a fake

Somber tones may meander
worldly concepts detest a new face
many old faces doth not erase
Love’s face, by perdition’s race

A monarch butterfly flew past.
I wondered if it was the last
‘Cause they are disappearing fast;
Our world will be much grimmer.

For climate change and pesticides,
Plus loss of habitats besides
Means we are taking giant strides
To make our days much dimmer.

These orange beauties did appear
Like clockwork every single year.
Their loss should make us shed a tear,
With hope, a measly glimmer....

At McRonald's, you get what you order,
McVirgin burgers from someone's daughter,
Sluts just wanna have fun,
In a sesame seed bun!
Do you want any French fries?
Have some fertilisers and pesticides!
We're not selling these apple pies,
Because we really love you, guys, 
Here, more landfill and sulphate dioxides,
Have a nice day today,
Anyone for take away?
All in a plastic sesame bun,
Yum! Yum! Yum! Yum!...

food pyramids, the gustatory embrace of cow eating senators 
bucking their allies.
So maybe the consumption of steroid pesticides 
truncates our ambition to swiftly move. 
No matter, there's wheelchairs, elevators, and highways
 to support the ride. 
Its all hearsay but there's definitely 
a hidden hand in school lunches. 
Maybe ranting across the state assembly 
to get their balding hairdoes in check 
and write some worlds 
that will help us understand our appetites...

Feeling soft soil squishing between my toes
is but one pleasure my garden provides.
I love how its sweet smells engage my nose,
the sunshine, fresh air, and much more besides.
I've never used chemical pesticides
and welcome nature's critters every spring,
from caterpillars to the birds that sing.
Color draws butterflies to sip nectar, 
while wild mushrooms create a fairy ring
encircling my placid pool reflector.
