the chickens we eat
are laced with growth promoters
fruit and vegetables
in cold storage
are gassed
not to forget
our
beef
pork
mutton
and fish
they've had an enhancement or two
this makes for a toxic brew
which we eat all the year through

the organic ways
of producing food
has gone by the wayside
and we the consumers of food
have been taken on a ride

the scientific fraternity
make discoveries
everyday
and when it comes to the subject of food
they've a lot of enlightening
things to say

chemicals
fertilizers
drugs and all
they are causing the consumer
to question if it is safe
to stow in their mouths
what is served on the plate
