APPLES OF THE SUN

Pom de orb-green plant in every backyard garden
stretching wild limbs into the heat of sun
Often sprouting volunteers via self -seeding
Popular and tasting like a red dream

Frankenstein fruit-a chemical soup for markets
Hard green,requiring gases to fake blush
Sold slave-with slaves as double harvest
Uniform-as green troops towards extinction

Choice is one-to grow in backyard garden
Variety is choice-size and weight and volume
Taste diverges-according to the site and season
Loved by all-by being individual

Same for us as for the gatherers-
will we be be free-or slave to market forces?
