Diet or Poison ?
Randhir Thiyam *
We call it "Healthy Foods":
Bananas, Grapes, Apples, Mangoes...
But "Fruits" are marinated in pesticide "Poison" soup.
Bananas dipped in "Carbide" toxins,
Grapes showered in "Chemicals",
Apples, Mellons and Mangoes drunk on "Sweet Poison" cocktails.
Vitamins and Minerals? Nah—
we’re swallowing "Cancer"in installments.
Kidneys on lease for "Dialysis"
lungs on fire for "Lungs Cancer"
Livers signing their own death warrants-"Liver Cirrhosis"
All "Cancer Combo Pack" for your pocket change "Tiny Profit"—
Golden lives traded for "Funeral Dust".
You brag about “Organic”?
Hell’s laughing—it’s already here,
served on our Plates.
So tell me straight—
are we eating "Diet”
or just eating designer "Poison"?
