Best Additives Poems
ContaminationSo much contamination
needs a close examination.
take a breath of radiation
or a toxic medication
select a name with aspartame
clean your car of acid rain
eat the food with preservatives
and other long letter additives
from the air-borne pathogens
to the many carcinogens
wipe off this and sanitize that
Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch
landfills loaded...

A Resolution For LifeI lost at least twelve pounds in this past season.
Since turning sixty, I have made a goal
to get back to my old self. The reason
is that I hated that unholy roll
around my middle! Now it’s mostly gone.
However, I still want my old size ten.
So...

Obesity Ode(Sing to the tune "American Pie.)
I long, long time ago, I can still remember when,
Junk food made me smile,
And I knew if I had a chance,
That I could make my fatness dance,
And maybe I was happy for a while,
But McDonald's made me shiver,
With every burger...

As Red As LoveAs red as love
Since additives have been used in feelings
Globalization has changed a lot of things
Hate is green, love is red and tolerance has bled
A day for love, another for water, and a third for bread
Days are couloured but the world is black.
Stars are bright...

Le Buff Claus - What's Up With SantaOld Santa Claus is in the know now
he's changing with the times;
now, he speaks out against the GMO's
saying toying with foods a crime.
Santa hungers for organic kale
turns his nose up at cookies.
He's tired, he said, of being a whale
and loves the extra nookie!
See, Mrs....

Every day there's folk who expound
on what we should eat, and I've found
they all promote a point of view
of what they think is good for you.

Ingredientsi prepared a simple supper
but with great love i cooked
that main meat of refined wheat
durum semolina, traded as rotini
an Italian pasta to go with beef, a grace
from a Canadian cow grazed in prairie grass,
spiced with herbs from the hunted tropics:
ginger, garlic, turmeric, and coriander
powdered,...

Living With NatureThe North American People
Lived in a natural way.
Their wastes were all compostables;
Would return to the earth one day.
Fish fertilizer fed their crops,
No additives in their food.
Nature was pharmacy, grocer and home.
And living was healthy and good....

Bitches Brew With No ExpressoWhy is that when you look at me,

seen a basket of fruit?
How do I live in a society
that isn't...

Q and AWhat are we actually doing day to day?
What is this shallow shuffling we think is our life?
What part of living requires possessions or notoriety?
What reverse inspiration invades us to make us feel doubt or fear?
What is this creative mental creation process?
Whose agenda are...
