Whom can we blame?

Whom can we blame?

P K Routray

Taste to tongue

craze old and young.

Encasing this craze

food business does blaze.

Adding chemicals unknown

as patent only of their own

unethically man, they delude

poisioning the value of food.

Ice cream, bread and butter

with preservative to store longer

can never be harmless to human body,

erroneous is certificate and mortal man’s study.

Incompetent and incomplete is human wisdom

Man cannot challenge God’s full proof system.

The practical result we see all around

incurable diseases, us they hound.

New product comes out daily

no challenge is posed worthwhile.

Those rob human of health

out of man’s greed for taste and wealth.

Know we all that natural food

without preservative and chemical is good

but we, under compulsion

of the fast life and city living burden

surrendering to claims awesome

advertised and certified by human wisdom

live with them, nurture our future with them.

Then whom can we blame?
