Can they feed us all?

They told us our country is our Mother. They demand faith, but we are hungry.

We look for symbols of our mother, symbols of our country. We look to the buildings they built: brick and mortar and iron. The world is watching, they said. The world will need to know, need to see our might, our stability.

Someone told us iron is required for life, and you get it from meat. There is no meat this year they tell us, but maybe they are only the middleman and maybe that is capitalism. Maybe we can deny the middleman.

We look to the buildings they built for our Mother, but can they feed us all?
