White Cabbage

Rolling a barrel of white Cabbage

through dusty halls

these large leafy wads

lack freshness

neatly packed with chemical.

No need for a reaction 

they won't make it to market

bound in garbage bags 

ready for the dump.

A really good poem. It makes an instant impact.

The food we discard, whilst others starve!
