Do you recall the sweet taste on your lips?
The strawberries
Explosive
Blissful
Honey
Or, do you recall a Tart
Watery
Conical ball?
We designed them
For Looks
For Sales & No More
Do you recall the sweet taste on your lips?
Tomatoes my friend
Smooth
Sharp
Sweetness
Or, do you recall a Sour
Husk
Crunchy
Slimey red ball?
We designed them
To be red
We gassed them for color
Unripened
Imposters
They are a fruit!
So delicious
Flavorful
Sweet as an apple
Love apples they\'re called
But not any more
No taste
They\'re Imposters!
Did you know Lettuce
To be hearty?
What about squash?
Do you know the taste of an Apple?
An Orange?
That\'s less than 1yr old?
We pick them early
Out of sterile fields
Just enough injections
For mass production
Bruiseless
Perfect Looking for your
Pocketbook
I\'m hungry
For my Garden
In there Taste Grows
Delicous deformities
Are the normalties
Pennies on the watering
For my mouth as well
Therapy on the tending
Do you know how they taste
When they\'re patiently ripe?
Or, do you eat genetic embryos?
Who knows
Quantity not Quality
Wait.. let\'s make them look the part!
We\'ll try for taste...but First
Superficial Beauty
Engineered perfection
Flat as plastic surgery
We\'ve fostered
Imposters
The same goes for meat
Have you ever had a beefy steak
From a cow that you knew?
Bacon from a pig that was
Named
& Not Numbered?
What about chicken?
What about lamb?
Does it make a difference?
It does, believe me.
We\'ve sacrificed
Taste
For Good Looks
We\'ve
Fostered
