Fewer suicides and more survivors,

To focus on nutrients from our earth
Without pesticides or genetic modifications?
If only we had stayed away
From GMO-products and processed foods,

About our fellow man and woman and child
Enough to help them find shelter
And food
And employment?
If only we had cared more about
