Every Child

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every Child
should have access to a Farm.
Every Adult
should have access to a Farm too.
We have Zoos,
Conservation Reserves,
National, State, and Local Parks.
In the meantime,
Farms fall into ruin
or are bulldozed to the ground.
They become
Urban Sprawl,
Factory Farms,
Roads,
Progress of a Different Sort.
We park our Children in front of Television.
We hook them up to Technology.
What will
we have lost
when Farms are no more?
Small Farms are coming back.
Hopefully just in time.
