Thanksgiving
Bless our Agriculture
for it’s part of who we are.
and we should be aware
of how our food is farmed.
The workers in our fields
alone might understand
what we’re doing to our land
and why to readjust our plans.
For on the Great Plains
a giant aquifer is drained
to produce abundant grain
for the billions it sustains.
And as time goes by
this well is running dry,
but composting might buy
our society some time.
It also might be best
to use chemicals less
they’re carcinogenic,
so consider organic.
Support your local farms,
they’re all so full of charm
and they’re only paid to grow
lots and lots of corn.
So please, remember,
you are what you eat,
and you don’t have to be
sugar that’s cheap.
Life thrives on variety,
it’s good for our immunity,
promote biodiversity
and grow a better community.
