Decades of effort need to be put
By the heat, rain and worms
To bite and gnash hard rocks
And make the soil on which we set foot.
Yet, it requires very little power
And some bulldozers and cranes
Within a simple hour’s slogging
The earth is denuded of its fertile cover.
How greedy and ungrateful and cruel
It is to hurt the ones who help us
Yet we destroy the ever-generous soil
All in the name of obtaining more land and fuel.
This fact better it home fast
That are delicious meals find roots from the soil
And if we want to destroy more and more fertile land
Eating food will become a fairytale from the past.
