People Planters

People planters find it hard to tear 
at the loss of your near and  dear

At two hundred percent profits
Devastation gives them fat pockets

Diggers open up the ground
Where people sprouts can be found....

Sprouts or people dust....it is hard to know!?

Witty piece with a deep meaning, Doris. I had to laugh at your chicken's favourite treat - and I thought I was a bad teenager giving the canary some chicken...
