Thoughts on the World Food Day 2011

WHERE IS THE FOOD BASKET ?BY MUKUNDANE B ALBERT
Planted among farmers
Moving in the cargo of suppliers
Sinking in turbulent lake
Protected in hanging granaries

Hospitalised by non governmental organisations
Where is the food basket ?
Is at the altar table
Sport kicked by sports personnel
Scrambled by politicians
Centered amidst food crisis
Accounted with financial statements
Where is the food basket ?
Is it established by traditional norms
Inspected by the hungry souls
Managed and maintained in serious investments
Integrated in professional programmes/plans
Launched by the big honorable
Where is the food basket?
In morden supermarket of morden era
In decentralised units of common man
In fragmented land tenure of investments
In herited lands of no value for money
In marginalised hidden territories
Where is the food basket ?
Is hidden in informed journalist records
Education centre of high production
Mushrooming business units of global world
In go back to land policy in urban areas
In tribal granaries for food security reserves
Where is the food basket ?
Torn apart by scavengers
Rebuilt in visionary leaders manifestos
Master minded by the research units
Advertised by sweet aroma ingredients
Kept by the viable traditional norms and practices
Where is the food basket ?
Is it being designed by the artist
Authorised by forces of nature
Valued like a dollar
Memorised like a creed
Protected like environment
Where is the food basket ?.
