Seeds drift on winds across plains
Like birds on wings carrying nourishment For young chicks yearning for food Eating with want and vitamin starved Food deserts proliferate in inner cities Impoverished wholeness Priced out of reach Only wealth buys nutrients Safety from pesticides never guaranteed Created in wars gone by Carcinomas of production, consumption Never to provide health Inputs cost more than outputs generate Government subsidized cultivation Subsistence sprayed pesticides Increasing Indigenous costs exponentially Droughts and fires decimate lands Wars and borders shift families and villages Away from ways that reproduce in ancient ways Not terminated with one seed or one crop Seeds drift on winds across plains Like birds on wings carrying nourishment For young chicks yearning for food From nature that cannot be bought
