Fair Warning

You eat what you are fed
whatever might pass for food.
You don't question it,
you choose to be complacent.

Behind the scenes
there's a monopoly,
a conspiracy to get rich
feeding you whatever
can enrich their greedy pockets.

Your health will pay the true price
of proactive due diligence.
