Missing Link In the Food Chain

All around us
It’s an epidemic
Man-induced plague

It’s a conspiracy
To hook people
To non food foods
Eats that should be
Technically inedible

Anything to grease the wheel
Of factories and consumerism
Nothing grown naturally
Nothing from a farm
Heavens no

Promoting foods whipped up
From powders and chemicals
None of those
Vegetables or fruits
Or other live stuff

Let the population thrive
On plastic derivatives
Deceitfully charming
Taste buds everywhere

Inducing dependency
Decomposing corpses wandering
Like loose time bombs
Waiting to explode
