Bread
Flour, water, salt, and yeast
these basic ingredients at least
were for generations the staple
of bread eaten at the table.
To these basic natural four
have been added many more
“ingredients” whose description
might pass for a prescription!
Pharmaceuticals will justify
chemicals to keep the food supply
longer on the shelves, while you and I
suffer bodily effects by and by!
And have you ever tried reading
a bread’s label and had the feeling
you should have been a chemist
with a PhD. or at least a scientist?
Todays pharmaceuticals, I dread,
are now the bakeries of our bread!
And God forbid, we dare to bake
our own; in their eyes a big mistake!
They’d rather that we eat instead
the additives they put in bread.
So, if what you like are chemicals,
buy your bread at pharmaceuticals.
