the chickens we are eating
are pumped with antibiotics and hormones
and those substances
will finally be absorbed into our stomachs and bones
due to us needing a feed
we're also obtaining
the odd few chemicals
in our grain seed
down the line
we'll be in for a few ailments
which have been bought on
by these nasty derailments
our food shouldn't be made unrecognizable
so steer well clear
of sprays and drugs
which are so sizable
the labeling on food packaging
oft doesn't tell the entire story
and if it did it maybe
quite a disturbing story
whence you sit down
for a feed to-day
ruminate for a while
on what the food producers say
we've fed the chickens
a hormone
which is safe
for human consumption
we've sprayed the wheat crops
with a non toxic solution
which is okay
for your stomach's constitution
the proof of the pudding
is yet to be tested
our food products
are so grossly infested
organic foods
offer an alternative
for they've not had any interference
and for our stomachs and bones
they have an uncontaminated clearance
the time has arrived
for us to be less like thoughtless hobs
and watch what we're spooning
into our gobs
on Christmas day
our turkey was fattened
a little too quick
for our tables
at the poultry farm
is his intake of hormones
going to do us some harm
