GOLDEN ARCHES

Starbucks over London.Subway over France
Everywhere- McDonalds real estate.Expanding,competing-
demographics of intersections.One dollar items illusion recession
33,000 locations,market value $95 billion,listed on Dow Jones
What you pay to eat brings dividends,stock repurchasing
Whether Yums or Chipotle,or "Happy "meals-stocks rise
when we bite into burgers or slurp sweet smoothies.
You turn lead food in to gold by buying in twice-
once via purchasing ,next via stock purchasing.
I am too slow for fast food merchandising-
prefer home cooked organic choices.
Mass marketing is for those who believe-
my faith is in food handmade and home made.
Underneath the Arches you can drive through,make mess,
litter one world with wrapping,discard disposables
i will be writing poems for the pure
whose gardens are golden with sunshine
whose tables are fresh with individual choice
