Fields of Deception (Free verse) by rick
Content in our slavery
We're taught
The roots of heritage belong to the land
Unwittingly exploited
We smile
Our hunger satisified
By poisonous crops
Deceived believers
We obey
Harvesting ideals
Planted by television Gods
With soil stained hands
We give
Donating time and money
That was never ours
Until fields lay empty
Frozen roots
Sleep in an earthen prison
Finally we are free
