I am Sam
Sam I am!
This Sam-I-am
Does not like
GMO eggs and toxic ham!
Do you like poison corn
In whose DNA pesticide is born?
Do you like animals raised with toxic feed
From companies who lust on only greed?
Aided by their former colleagues now in our FDA,
They've rigged the game, keeping "precautionary principle" at bay.
Do you like a fish in your tomato
or a "Round-up ready" potato?
And how about seeds that make bugs explode,
by killing them with tainted load,
Which survives your digestive tract,
. . . in research this is backed!
I do not like them,
Sam-I-am.
I do not like
GMO eggs and toxic ham!
Would you like them in your soup?
Then by Campbell's you'll be duped!
Would you like them in Fruit Loops?
That's when Kellogg's says "whoops!"
Would you like them with the Mayor?
If so, you can count on Bayer!
Surely you'd like a GMO kiss
Disguised in Hershey's chocolate bliss?
How about in Nestle's ice cream sundae?
Or in Pepsi's snacks called Frito Lay?
How about in your Lucky Charms
Courtesy of General Mills farms?
I do not like them,
Sam-I-am.
I do not like
GMO eggs and toxic ham!
How about in your sour cream
From the Land O' Lakes team?
What if they came from Dupont or Dow
Would that whet your appetite now?
How about while sipping a Coke,
Leaving your health a joke?
What about in a can of fruit
Concocted with Del Monte loot?
Or perhaps in blueberry jam
Delivered by the Smucker's man?
Or how about in a can of Spam
Carried on a Hormel tram?
I do not like them,
Sam-I-am.
I do not like
GMO eggs and toxic ham!
Do you like them in tuna fish?
If so, Bumble Bee Foods has your dish!
How about in a cranberry tart,
Arriving on an Ocean Spray cart?
Or perhaps in your coffee cake,
Which Bimbo Bakeries will proudly bake?
Would you eat them in your meat?
Sara Lee's got Hillshire Farms treats!
Would you eat them in a pancake?
With Aunt Jemima and Mrs. Butterworth's on the take!
Do you want them in your cow?
Then let Dean Foods take a bow!
I do not like them,
Sam-I-am.
I do not like
GMO eggs and toxic ham!
Can I lure you with a sweet,
In the form of Godiva treat?
Or perhaps with a bit of salt
From Morton will you take a halt?
Will Similac and Pedialyte do,
From Abbott "Nutrition" fooling you?
Will your baby like Enfamil or Enfragrow blends?
If so, on Mead Johnson's answer you'll depend!
And what about brands who like to hide?
Give BASF, Bunge, and Cargill a ride!
With ConAgra and Syngenta behind the scenes,
You'll remember whose messing with genes!
I do not like them,
Sam-I-am.
I do not like
GMO eggs and toxic ham!
And what of associations lurking in the dark,
Where Grocery Manufacturers and Biotech do park?
But one company goes beyond greed,
To stealing and destroying seeds,
And making seed saving a crime,
For global food control they do opine!
Monsanto takes us all for fools,
Thinks monopolizing seed control is cool,
Leaves Indian farmer suicides in its wake,
The Greed-at-all-Cost award it takes!
When will this GMO insanity end,
The answer rests with you my friend!
I will not buy them
Sam I am!
I will not buy
GMO eggs and toxic ham!
I'm glad to hear that you'll have found
That GMO food is change profound,
Where cancer, tumors, and reproductive problems in mice,
Isn't something that you'd called nice,
61 countries agree with you and me
Labeling GMO's so we'll see!
Why is it in country so "free"
That transparency cannot be?
Where Russia and China have rights not known
To Americans whose rights are on loan?
Go forth and boycott en masse!
Be you elephant or ass!
I'm calling out an SOS
Sam I am!
I'll tell all not to buy
GMO eggs and toxic ham!
