Our farmers are very funny This is how they earned their money With sheep’s brains inside cow’s tummy Our abattoirs are also jolly Finding ways to up their lolly But it’s proved an offal folly Could BSE and CJD - not a bunch of laughs you see - Give but a glimpse of what’s to be? Biotech has much invested In a planet that’s infested With the crops that they’ve molested Governments just won’t protect us From the toxins that affect us Isn’t that a trifle reckless? The bureaucrats, it seems, don’t care Their attitude’s “Buyer beware! Our corporate pals must have their share” Supermarkets too are jolly Glad to maximise their lolly: With goods unlabelled in our trolley Pesticidal foods, you’ll see, Will mean we eat our genes for tea* Can it all end happily? Our farmers are very funny This is how they’ll earn their money: Misplaced genes inside our tummy Seems to me that’s rather rummy Silent Spring At an international meeting of entomologists experts warned that genetically engineered (GE) Bt crops are continuously exuding 10-20 times the amount of toxins contained in conventional (non-GE) Bt sprays, and are thus harming beneficial insects (such as ladybirds and lacewings) and soil microorganisms, and could well be harming insect-eating bird populations. Lacewings and ladybirds, mind where you roam The plants are all poisoned that once were your home They’ve spliced in a toxin to kill off all pests Now friendly bug-eaters will die like the rest Ladybird, ladybird, have your children all flown? The food chain is poisoned - we’re left here alone Transgenic honey This is not food that the people need It's a terminator-deal for corporate greed Power of the people gonna stop the crop The people in power have lost the plot.

There was a young boffin from Norwich Who thought he would mutate his porridge. He turned it bright green With a gene of gangrene. The marvels of molecular knowledge! Little Boy Blue come blow on your horn, The people are pulling up transgenic corn Sharp with a sickle and quick on their toes They're ridding the world of GMOs Re: gmo poems

The corn is plowing a field of tractors whose plumes of carbon smoke have spread a kind of deadly pollen on the iron soaked fields The corn received so much genetic attention that it became intelligent It gained control over the insects it gained control over the rats the hares the horses and finally it gained control of the tractors The corn was plenty mad by this time and it began harvesting the tractors When the corn raised enough tractors it had the tractors take it into the towns and cities and made demands of the men and women who were running the show It demanded that all humans on the earth return immediately to the sea from whence they had come The corn gave humans just ninety days to get off the land –Latif Harris (1983) Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
