Dead Bees

Billionaires Broiling Bees

“It’s all gone.
Home equity, gone.
Family money, gone.
Empty shush’d up boxes.
Missing dead bees
Gone, too.”
Bemoan’d beekeeper.

Brazen billionaires
Seventy-four million cultists
Easy pickins’,
Blaring FOX propaganda
Rupert’s cannon fodder.
Big macs diet cokes
President Biff’s befuddled gaze.

“GROCERIES?”
Fruits veggies nuts, nah.
“BURGERS sayeth Biff!”
Who needs bees?
Oh well, ill fortune
Buggered beekeepers
Coupla dozen billion kark’d U.S. bees
Dec/Mar death toll, without equal.

Land/ocean lockstep
Sourcing not sinking carbon
1.59C fossil-fuell’d World.
Greenland’s rare earth metals
Canada’s freshwater
Panama’s Suez Canal
Crook’d conquering crusaders, 
Terrible trump tariffs
Perfect putin portrait
Big bosom’d short skirt’d, FOX’d!

Broiling blistering bees
Skinny starvin’ schoolchildren,
“Nero Decree”
Biff’s omnipotent destructiveness.
Righteous Reclaiming Resistors
Bring Back Bees!
