The Orchards Gone
The Orchards? Gone. The wood's? retreating;
Corporations now competing
For my wage and grandma's mattress dough.
Country poor get even poorer;
Stinking cabin, oh the horror
No one seems to care or notice though.
Now I try to fight this faceless foe,
But grandma's dead from lack of dough;
Soon they all will come to know
That we will reap what others sow.
WE will reap what others sow.
