farm raised children

they
were farmed raised
children,
penned into
small
lots at the daycare
center,
fed together,
bound
by ropes as they
walked
the street
by their teacher
masters.
unlike
fish or meat,
it was food coloring
and chemicals
of a different
sort
added to their
malleable brains.
at five pm,
into the arms
of tired parents,
they'd be released,
somehow
not the same.
