There was always corn,
He created it,
coming up, out of the ground,
growing,
like the first people,
flourishing.
Kernels tucked in green,
food,
for us and the animals,
but now,
after spraying, modifying,
and engineering,
is it still food?
What have we done?

This is really cool… now I do love eating sweetcorn… one of my favorites 🙂
Thank you for your wonderful comments. I do too, try organic or local farmers if you can. Blessings to you.
Yes we have organic corn here but price is too high… thank you very much! 🙂
In our country we still get to eat the raw corns 🙂 Especially in rainy season streets are full of corn seller …generally it is in boiled or roasted form and to add on they sprinkle rock salt with bit of lemon juice on it 😛 ..its yummy 🙂
Sounds delicious! I doubt if your corn has the chemicals we have here, and that’s very good too! I think the rock salt idea is wonderful. Thank you for your wonderful comments! Peace and blessings.

Wow such a lovely poem and expressing how chemicals and fertilizers are degrading the quality of the plants and also our health. Corn is good & one of my fav also 😉
Yes, that’s it exactly Darshith! Thank you for your wonderful comments. Peace.
Good thoughts, Nicodemas. What do we see in food today?
Unless it is organic, it is my understanding there are chemicals that are very harmful. And we are engineering food, which means the corn I had 20 years ago, and other people had farther back, is not the same as what we have now. Thanks for your comment. Peace.
Yes, very true. Everything is about money… no matter what it costs…
GMOs kill all plant variety, enslave farmers, while pesticides kill us (and the bees too). Support organic farming !
Yes! Thank you Ada. I love your comments, and completely agree. Peace!
Exactly.
Well penned.
Thank you Genie for your wonderful comments. Peace and blessings to you.
I know Nicodemas, I do love corn and fresh tomato’s – hate to say it but none taste as I remember from the past.
Yes! Exactly, and home grown or local produce which is organic tastes the best! Peace Mary and blessings.
exactly! what have we done??
Unfortunately we have messed up our food. We still have organic though in this country. I am sure that in other countries, the food is much cleaner and healthier. Peace.
