Where does our food come from?
Milk from a man made cow
Vegetables that cannot rot
Bacon from a force fed sow

There’s a lot going on
That we don’t know
That affects the food
That farmers grow

Science will save us
Say the alterers
A small change here
A nip or a tuck
We’ll change the genes
Its all small beer.

Will it cause cancer in our kids?
Is I worse that drink or drugs
Will kill as many as smoking
Or just get rid of bugs

Can we trust the scientists?
To tell the truth about GM
Or will they all just band together
And leave it to religion

To point out the dilemma
That we face
In making a decision
That might kill or feed our race

In the end we’re all dead
So does it really matter
If we speed up our journey
To go a meet our maker.


The last 2 poems were a respose to a story that milk from a cloned cow had entered the UK food chain
