Dr Abe V Rotor
Former Director,
National Food Authority
NFA Grain Center in
Cagayan Valley, circa 1977
Like
the nucleus of a cell depends the life of a nation,
the
Center the equalizer in times of plenty and lean,
buffer
stock is built like in Joseph's prophetic dream;
of seven
years of plenty and seven years of famine.
Politics
of war and peace draws the politics of food;
nothing's
really new but terminologies, flag and tool,
and Demeter
or Ceres the same goddess of harvest,
so
with The Ant and the Grasshopper in
Aesop fable.~
