Courage to Share
Why "Courage". I fully expect some will reject me for choosing this song to share. Yet, this is the song the Muse desires for me to offer.
The Muse is that unseen powerful intelligent force that writes the songs. I craft the songs. The Muse gives me the words and music. I assemble those pieces into something to share: A Song.
The inspiration for this song came from the title of a book written by a friend who owned a healthfood store. The book title is WELLNESS UPRISING.
As I listened to this song I wrote 8 years ago, I realized "Wellness Uprising" describes my personal fight against the war to destroy the life that I love.
For those who don't know and want to understand, genetic modification is the forcing together life-forms that are incapable of combining in Nature. The Flavor-Savor Tomato for instance came to be from forcing a bacterium, an eel and a fish with a tomato. The resulting product was then sold in grocery stores.
There are hundreds of such products in our food now. Genetically modified corn is actually registered as a pesticide. It is in nearly all conventional foods and fed to cattle and chickens that are then fed to us. These creations cross-polinate with natural crops and are the main reason so many suffer from autoimmune disease.
This is a war against our health, our children, our beautiful ability to thrive.
It amazes me how intelligent educated people do not realize how they are poisoning themselves and their children.
These are the ingredients of a popular children's cereal.
Yellow dye 6 : toxic
Polyetheline glycol : poly(plastic) etheline(gas used to force fruits to ripen) glycol(anti-freeze)
GMO corn : registered as a pesticide
High fructose corn syrup
Brown sugar syrup
Sugar
My friend said he ate the same cereal when he was a kid and he turned out alright. But, back in the 1950s - 1970s none of these ingredients were in our food.

The children are sick - The elders not sane
Our neighbors are suffering in disease and pain
It's time for us to make a stand
Join hands across the Land
This is a wellness uprising
GMO must go - This is a wellness uprising
No more foods drenched in pesticides
It is we who now decide
We - united now we stand
Spread the word across the land
Imagine a world where you can drink from a stream
Where you can safely breath the air
Imagine a world where children play outside
Where the law is fair
Are you really eating food designed by man
from a laboratory and a plan.
Held in the hand of a company
specializing in chemistry - not health
Everyone can be well - Healthy and sane
It can be normal to be free of disease and pain
It's time for us to make a stand
Join hands across the land
This is a wellness uprising
GMO must go
This is a wellness uprising
