Monsanto%C3%AF%C2%BF%C2%BDs Lice
by
J. M. Hallett
Outward they trudge
From the bowels of hell
Past thawing bergs of ice
Beneath hills and heels of corporate mandate
Through paddies and fields
Beyond domain heists
Cloaking a self-serving
Global agenda-splice
Sewing transgenic corn
And genome rice
Those genetically mutated kernels
Of ill health and strife
The bastards are bottom dealing
From a pockmarked deck
And throwing loaded dice
From the backs of seven legged laboratory mice
Mosquito smiles, belladonna nice
Sickeningly sweet, aspartamic spice
Across the pate of fate
March Monsanto's lice
