Debate

Farmer Neil:
Good evening it's nice to have you here Thoreau
But before you say a thing there's something you should know
To pay my mortgages I agreed to grow tobacco
Thoreau:
How could you agree to that Neil?
Big Tobacco would never strike a fair deal
Farmer Neil:
Yes, of course we all know how you feel
But I'll never be evicted off my land
Thoreau:
It's no longer your land now you understand
All of you and yours is at their command
Farmer Neil:
It's my decision and I don't see the harm
As long as I can stay here this is my farm
Thoreau:
Well then this news will come with some alarm
But what will you do when they build their factory?
Do you think their pollution will help the community?
Farmer Neil:
Do you think it's done any harm to the city?
Thoreau:
You mean other than lowering the life expectancy?
Or exploited workers living in poverty?
Farmer Neil:
Just shut your mouth until you're in the same boat as me
