HOME GROWN

Consider food for thought

Within every facet of human existence

Being controlled by big company

We may be on the verge of losing one more of our daily bread

Backyard farming: The original organic garden

Found still on countless homestead lots

Throughout the countryside

Inner-city and on high-rise balcony settings

So, as the major players in food sector

Takes a toll on monopolizing the food supply

The backyard garden

Could find itself on the list of illegal activities

Like smoking in your own home

Your castle’ grass growing too tall…

…considered illegal activities in the future within some circles

Helicopters’ will fly over your domain - taking photographic proofs

Just to analyze the farming process in your yard

Then dictate what is allowed - and what is not!

A vegetable like carrot could be outlawed

Could you image?

Being charged for bottled carrot juice…

…grown in your own backyard

Let’s say!

One Saturday morning: While having breakfast, the house starts to vibrate

From the sound of a helicopter, hovering over your dwelling

At the same time, bright flashing lights catches your attention

As a heavy knock is heard on your front door

But as you rise from your chair

Before reaching the front door

It falls onto your hand-rubbed wood floor with such force

The door handle and the floor become intimate partners

All for the illegal act of growing your own carrots

And the unlawful possession of such vegetable

It has now caused the police to just kick-off your front door

As the enforcers continue with their raid

You have now found yourself in a little pickle

Because you were found with bootleg vegetables on your property

You are now facing various charges

Like the unlawful possession of fertilizer; used in growing crops in your yard

As these enforcers continue their search

You find yourself losing produce that was store brought

As they empty your refrigerator

Of all fruits and vegetables: They confiscated every product that was not canned

Unfair long-hand of the law is out of control

When the cartels’, serious investors in big box operations

Can stop the average person from growing vegetables in their own backyard

Average humans have major problems

These cartels’ wanting full control of all food supplies

On both sides of the fence - supply and demand

Because higher price to all consumers is their bottom-line devilish plan

The motto of the vegetable cartel:

‘Keeping it real: No! - Keeping it artificially high’

Enforcers who reports to shady alternative governmentals’

Doing said work for the cartels

Knowings’ election time… will insist…

Tax payers get costly valid permits to have a backyard garden

Fighting with these enforcers, individuals have zero chance to win

They pass the process onto…

…fighting with the…

…every move becomes political

Politicians have the power of the cartels - backative

Come next election - lobbying takes liberty of deeper pockets

What most politicians’ world-wide love

The average backyard part-time farmer

Will eat mass production food…

…this could happen to a family member, your neighbour or you

Funny: No!

…reversing forward, future is history!

Writtenments…
