I will not eat
a wild animal
free to the wind
serving the circle of life
I will not eat
a farm animal
cruelly contained
slaughtered and swept aside
but
I could eat them
Those fortunate few
who endorse the end of the world
counting coins on private planes
while we all starve down below
I could have them on a plate
their severed heads
ROASTED
their smug smiles
SWIMMING in gravy
their doughy faces
SUCCULENT to chew
Those who broke the circle
and made it a pyramid
I could have their blue blood
dripping down my napkin
Yes
I could stomach that.
