Something Fishy About French Fries Poem by Saiom Shriver

Something Fishy About French Fries



Around here, one can buy
a 20 pound bag of
potatoes for 4.41 or
22 cents a pound.

Why is it that at at least two
national burger chains the toxic
flesh is being sold
for less than the fries?

There is so much
warehoused animal flesh
not moving that the
price is coming down.

Is it also secret
USDA skullduggeriy
as it continues its over
a century of cadaver mongering?

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Consider that potatoes are planted
grown and harvested... transported, cut,
and with salt put into oil for french fries.

Consider that animals are bred, birthed,
fed, watered, cruelly castrated, cruelly branded,
given antibiotics, hormones and minimal
veterinary care, that they are transported,
murdered, subdivided, frozen in truck,
warehouse, at store, and at store or home,
until baked.

Note: Most potatoes are harvested by field animal-shredding
machines
