A whole nation of people dying on the proverbial vine.
Makes one kind of question when to act; and when to pine.
Such a huge, big and pitiful shame; to say the least.
One doesn't need to jail a people if their health is bad.
You've did as much or more damage and you've made some of them raving mad.
Talk about your red tape and your farmer's ink.
This pile of manure is a train wreck and it stinks.
How can it be that the food one eats delivers not an ounce?
Of the nourishment a body needs to run, jump or bounce?
Who's in the big tower looking down all day upon us?
Our money's in a mess as well, but still says in God we trust.
I'm just of the opinion that something foul is going on.
I'm living in...
the land of the 'free'
home of the 'brave'
but, yet I'm torn.
Is this a subtle way to break a nation of people down to size?
Give them all 'food' that kills; then watch for the question marks in their eyes?
