The silver- lining disappeared last night
As I sat and watched outside the window
The bars trembled I was surprised
How could iron be that poor?
Everything you buy outside
Is no longer good to bite
For you never know what there is inside!
The green dotted stuff they say is veggie
Lately I have learned the E code relates
The hidden stuff… inside
What it is you never know
Dressed smartly they take you for a ride
For many use ‘it’ to lure your taste
So fill animal fat… inside
The net is full of codes and codes
Un- coded for you to see
How the public is taken for a ride
For they have no eyes to see
The clouds do have a silver- lining
If you have eyes to see
So check what you eat and then decide
Before they take you for a ride

It’s a beautiful eye opener. You have described in a very honest manner without mincing words how people are being fooled by appearance of stuff. What it appears to be it isn’t really so. It’s just an eye wash. Your way of presenting this fact is appreciable.
