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?

Indeed. When insects shun plants which were their natural food it is time to be very, very afraid of eating such foods oneself.

“Progress” and “improvement” : frequently an awful misuse of language. For shame.
