Fresh Harvests

Neuroleptic liquids
Are dripping from the pipes,
Watering veg'tables
‘Til they're healthy and ripe.
The tranquilizing streams
Rushing in on the crops
Irrigate ceaselessly—
Flowing, never to stop.

All of the fresh harvests
Are kept under control.
Nature has been harnessed—
It's kept under control.

The land is fertilized
With processed compost soil.
The disinfected dirt
Should prevent any spoils.
Sublimated climates—
The seasons are sedate—
Make for better growing
While the plants procreate.

All of the fresh harvests
Are kept under control.
Nature has been harnessed—
It's kept under control.

Stabilize conditions
By commanding the air.
Plow the fields, sow the seeds,
Working so unaware
That calmer, compliant
Production will produce
Pesticide soaked plants
Washed in subtle abuse.

All of the fresh harvests
Are kept under control.
Nature has been harnessed—
It's kept under control.
