A Very Deep Thought

Debra Paulsen
I try to find

the words I need

To plant a seed

of hope,

so we may have the strength

to hold on tight

To the

end

of the dangling

Rope.

I've searched for wisdom.

I've asked who is to blame?

The answers brought sorrow,

misery

and shame.

If you Twist me and turn me,

instead of an elf

I looked in the mirror

and I saw myself.

We don't know how it started

or who began it when it did,

or why we never saw it coming,

because our government

kept it hid.

Today the poor keep getting poorer,

While corporations gather wealth.

The world's become their guinea pigs,

No regard for life

Or health

Science claimed

they would save the planet,

all would starve without their aid,

Now 40 years later

worldwide,

We're dealing

with

the messes

they've made.

The Earth beneath our very feet

struggles for her next breath

We have allowed science and knowledge

to push her

to the edge

of death.

Rockets carry man

Dare they knock on heavens door?

Remember what the ending was

Of that fabled lore.

We've come so far

beyond wings of wax...

Can we right the wrongs

Is there a chance to go back?

Scientific Research

Top secret

decades past .

Hush hush ,

Don't tell

It's fruition

approaches

too fast.

Faster than a speeding bullet,

Stronger than

A locomotive,

Will there be no safe place left

For all of us

To go live?

What can the average American do

In preparation for this bleak future?

Is the outlook total chaos

Desperation

Crazy looters?

No I say , no I pray

Lord don't let it be so ,

It could all be avoided,

At the very least postponed.

If The people knew what was going on

But how to let them know ...

Go online

And do research

About the foods we eat

Today,

The food chain's

been corrupted

Many people say.

Just don't ask

the opinion

of the FDA

Everything is fine

Is all they ever say

G.M. G.E.

Check and see

There's not much left

Alter free

From sea to

Shining sea.

BsE BVL , There are so many more,

They know But don't tell.

Eat lean cuts,

And cook them well.

Start a garden,

you never can tell.

You Might have Need. . .

Find good seeds,

While there's still

A slim chance

To Save one of God's blessings

Naturally

Reproducing

Unaltered

plants.

Do you need that dose

Of pesticide

Every time you eat a fruit?

Or that herbicide

Built inside

That limp

And rubbery cuke ?

Are the antibiotics

in our milk

really good for you?

The cows are sick from

Human growth hormones,

What are they doing

to you?

Hormones, antibiotics,

altered DNA

do any of us really know

what went in our bodies

today?
