Don'T Just Eat That: Do Something

Don't Just Eat That: Do Something

By Oladeji Vicki Acquah:

How long have we warned you
How long have you ignored
How long will we be side tract.
We know who the culprits are,
There's no shame in their game.
 
We can call out their names,
They are not hiding, the disregard is blatant.
They can stop the one, they can stop the two.
The masses must rise, and organize
Before we are to weak to rebel.
 
This is not a quick sale.
We have been investing in this for a long time..
Keep thinking there's someone watching the barn.

FDA, CIA. FBI, haarp NOPE
They are not on your side 
They are (frienemies).
 "Enemies with a SMILE"                    
 
 You think they care about "round-up'.
Or genetically engineered foods, do you ? 
Do you think they care about" bovine cows"

Or chickens grown in six weeks with no beaks,
Do you ?,...
Do you think they care about
Confiscating your seeds?
 
Do you think the food you eat has nutrition..
And the confiscated seeds- were confiscated
With good intentions, do you ?
