Toxic. A poem.

The world is toxic
Bioengineered
Gene-spliced
Consuming me
While I’m consuming it
Chemical carcinogens and biological tumours

Oh, for a world free
From genetically modified food
And environmental waste

Only in dreams, now
Fairy tales we tell our kids
While eating plastic snacks

Since I was born in 1940 I can see how the world has changed around me. This poem is wonderful.

I hear you, Steve. We’ve made such a mess that will require all hands on deck to clean-up.
