Dual Role

Dual Role The factory was a dual role one It was a great division of labour And of resources making double the profit On a Monday it made polonium And on a Tuesday it made baby milk And on a Wednesday it made anthrax And on a Thursday it made flour And on a Friday it made cyanide And on a Saturday it made sugar And on a Sunday it made strychnine This was a factory of war and peace It depended on the day It was worked in three shifts 7 days a week 365 days a year Feeding nation’s civilians And poisoning the enemies from Side of the Hill – Varied Poems...
