Hey Monsanto

HEY MONSANTO Hey Monsanto how much did you pay mother nature to look the other way? Did you stuff her purse full of dough to lobby God for GMO's? By splicing pesticides into grains you're poisioning the food chain. What harms insects harms humans too people are just like bugs to you. You program future seeds to die to control the food supply. There's famine in the seed you sow and hunger in the crops you grow. We can see the mutant strains invading through the fruited plains. You're the plague upon the crops and the blight that must be stopped. Your lawyers say farmers steal when winds blow your seeds on their fields. You'd sue the wind, sun and sky to control the food supply. Hey Monsanto don't you know you will reap just what you sow. Evil minds can only yield bitter fruits and barren fields. The winds of change are everywhere and storms of protest in the air. There will come a harvest time when you must pay for all your crimes.

Bravo for your courage and fearlessness to expose this nefarious company. Now you need to write a poem lambasting the congressmen who passed this bill. How much were they paid under the table? Keep writing like this. / M

Thank you Maurice for your comment. One way to get their attention is through the pocketbook and refuse to buy their products.

I wonder if they really will pay. Seems like the "everyman" is ignored. Good poem. Could even be put to music... like a Woody Guthrie song or Dylan's blowin' in the wind. Thanks for sharing this. Cyndi

Cindi, you are extremely perceptive. It was written as a song. I feel very flattered. I wrote it sevral years ago...We are winning... recently Chipotle resturants went non GMO. Thank you.
