The Other Side of Ragwort

They say it kills horses and ponies

Worried farmers kill it with spray

Yet ragwort has another side

You don't hear of every day

 

The virtues of ragwort are few

Yet it provides pollen for bees

Its stalks are a nursery for moth grubs

On my land it grew up to my knees

 

I did my back in pulling it up

Saw starving bees fly off to die

Ever since then I've felt guilt...
