Desperation Breeds … - Andrew Bird

Beekeeper sing of your frustration

In this litigious breeze

Of accidental pollination

In this era without bees without bees without bees

We keep breeding desperation

In this era of thieves

Who keep stealing respiration

From the tenderest of trees

This peculiar incantation

Sure you heard it before

Instead of breeding desperation

Make me a pallet on your floor
