POETIC RANT | The fight for allergy-free foods
This is the face
Of what so-called food can do
A mild reaction
Breath still in action
Allergens the trigger
No warning, no sticker
Producers fucking with food
Untold processes skewed
Numbers with no names
GMO games
What is our food eating?
Feed grown in soils or sands
Laced with chemical strands
Grass or glyphosate
Is it too late?
Rage rises in me
Driving me to ask more
Who is this food safe for?
Resistance still there
Do I run and hide
Or chase the rollercoaster ride
Grow our own
Together or alone
What will become
For the food in our tums?
Rollercoaster ride initiated.
One conversation at a time.

Thanks for reading
Thanks for being you
Please shout out in the comments or via allergyangst@gmail.com if you have a story you would like to share about allergies.
I would love to add them to the publication on Medium — Allergy Angst or reblog here on WordPress.
The power of sharing your story is what is driving me— so —
NO writing or grammar police here. My sole wish is to read and learn.
Disclaimer — I have only the bare basics on how to run a publication and wordpress blog for that matter — but certain I will find my feet along the way.
