Who Will Buy My Wheat?

Who Will Buy My Wheat?

by

John Presco

 

The Trade Wars

are hot and heavy today

my love

I am but a poor wretch

put out in the street

to fetch

the Euro Buck-wheat dollar

like a common whore

when I would rather play

with you some more

my dear Yari

 

My beloved childhood flame

I am s sick of these billion dollar

games

The kissing up

the back-stabbing flattery

the hoarding of soybeans

the fake snubbing

the want to buy

Greenlland

for God’s sake!

 

Yari, our love

was honest.

We promised to be true

Now I have been rendered

a Wheat Wench

a pretty face

the goddess Rhea

the horn of plenty

All is emptiness

without my love of you

my dear Yari

    China has not met their goal in trade agreements. Who saw this coming? Here is my poem about all that! I see it danced to in a China-like ballet by The Golden Wheat Women.
