Unencumbered

News Poetry Inspired by article and events in the news.

We don’t have to choose between eating
living and growing unencumbered
between non-Hodgkins lymphoma and chemicals
killers are well known we thought
helping food plants grow unencumbered by weeds
we see they nurture cancer
now Monsanto has to pay $80 million
they did create glyphosate herbicides
unencumbered by truth and concern for public safety
