A Week Away in the *Bundu

A week away in the bundu ~

Heaven on Earth ~

Away from the DIS-ease

And DIS-order of CIVIL-isation,

The cultivation of sophistication

In nations, where evolution

Lags behind what man desires.

What was thought to be progress

Is, in fact, re-gression

And chemical compounds rule the way

In which our foods are grown ~

Animal and vegetable ~

DNA manipulated, cloned, all in the name

Of improvement; a few steps forward

And how many back? Gods in white coats

Seeking, questing what? Eternity?
