Farming is more swords <br /> than earth-savaging, earth-exhausting ploughshares: <br />exile from Eden, <br /> starvation and infection, <br />hacking and sacking of the growing green, <br /> overpopulation and empire, <br />power and glory, <br /> restlessness and greed and vivisection, <br />savage fear of what is animal, <br /> guilt and comfort and uneasy self-satisfaction.<br /><br />Anthony Weir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/blood-is-the-belly-of-logic-in-memoriam-ted-hugh/
