What is food for?
It makes us who we are
Meat for fighters
Rice for the peace-makers
It fills our minds
Food for thought
What is food for?
The supermarket owners laugh
All the way to the bank
The children, healthy and happy
A meal with a friend
Food for a richer life!
What is food for?
We eat, we work, we die
We live upon the lives that pass
And then
Into the air, the sea, the ground
We pass
Food for nature’s circle
What can we eat but food?
Ah, solving that question
Brings many unhappy times!
