Watch out the GM..the Genetically Modified..

bought few Guava fruits,
as these looked so cute,
plumb, polished and glossy,
Hoped it would be juicy.

Seeds retrieved and sowed,
germinated sprout not flawed,
water it regularly,
a desire of getting plenty.

Ten years gone as the lies and cheats,
of the bureaucrats and technocrats,
Staying as a hopeful citizens,
looking at the tree for fruition.

fifteen feet high big tree,
bore only one in the third year,
that was offered to God,
as the bribery for future yield.

What is the necessity to make.
the living things to be impotent,
to have glossy and marketable items?
Are the mutated things have life in them?

God crested the life in the living things,
which mean that they can reproduce,
To get the bounty of livestock, grains and vegetables,
what right have we, to sterilize and create life redundants?
