A Regenerative Flow of Morning Joe
by Michael Doyle

If only a handful of people know,
It's hard to get a movement to grow.
But if the movement is in overflow,
We can be certain that it will grow.

There is something in a healthy attitude
That allows answers to grow in magnitude.
Capturing water as it falls from the skies
Allows desert to transform before our eyes.

Grasses transformed are pumps of regeneration
While cattle become a factor of veneration.
Columbia needs transformation, as most know.
Oftentimes, it comes down to that cup of Joe.

It can be seen from Colombian history,
Coffee may not create wealth, but it stops poverty.
Its rainforests were considered its thriving crown.
But in the name of coffee, this was cut down.

Intensified monoculture destroys biodiversity.
We see this in the pages of living history.
Inserting bananas and plantains brings needed shade.
The restoration of coffee and diversity comes ready-made.

Shade-grown coffee allows us to nurture
A plethora of hope for mankind's future.
All of this speaks to a healthy opportunity.
Regenerative coffee brings rich biodiversity.

Life in a good morning's cup of Joe;
It's a choice made to allow life to flow.
It's a battle for natural forest restoration.
Expanding habitat has revitalized the Colombian nation.
