Freedom Food

Freedom food
from happy Hens,
marked with the stamp
of quality.
Free range,
given room to peck
and cluck.

From golden grains
to golden yolks,
and packed
recycled
and green.

But green,
no longer,
although recycled,
she breaks the shell,
with slow moving fingers
and coughs up phlegm
as yellow
as the splash
of freedom
once tasted.
