The Bees Don’t Want That Monsanto Food
Now the bees are disappearing
all over the world
There are those who say
that the reason is
They don’t like those genetically modified crops
brought to us by Monsanto
So now these industrious creatures
that we rely on for cross-pollination
are leaving
Turning their nose up at that Monsanto food
Buzzing away from our bad diner
Crummy cuisine
Lousy service too
the humans don’t respect the customers no more
So they’re blowin this tomato stand
Turnin their nose up at that Monsanto food
Gathering up into a crazy cartoon-like
angry black bee cloud
and droning away
into the blue crack of twilight
Never again to spread the pollen,
Never again to share the nectar.
Never again to spread the pollen,
Never again to share the nectar.
Ken Greenley February 4, 1958 – February 12, 2020 was a writer who lived in Denver, Colorado. The number of places he’s lived is only exceeded by the number of job’s he’s had. Greenley liked to explore the themes of class division (in a supposedly classless country), the struggle to stay spiritual in the modern world, and the growth episodes that occur in childhood. He thought art, particularly writing, should combat media brainwashing, and should examine the clash between what we’re told and what really happens. He tried to make his material as funny as possible, because he found it hard to make modern life seriously, and considered it his mission “to make people laugh and think at the same time.”
