Meat

Contributed by matt86826 on Monday, 13th October 2003 @ 02:35:08 PM in AEST
Topic: InspirationalPoems

Eating what we
Are meant to protect
Don't eat meat?
You're such a reject

They call you a loser
They call you names
Because you feel
For the animals' pains

You try to explain
Its just no use
They won't listen
They plainly refuse

They don't understand us
We compassionate few
Well how would you like it
If we just ate YOU?

We think we are smarter
More evolved somehow
Because we've got fire
So let's grill a cow!

It's not a person
Whose being consumed
So that means it's fine,
The masses presume

If it were a person
We'd all be sick
But it's just an animal,
Dumb as a stick

They stand in line
Ready for the kill
A man cuts its throat
The animal's still

He's missed the blood line
Oh well, who cares?
Just let the animal
Bleed out right there

You watch as the blood
Falls to the floor
You promise yourself
Not even once more

You just can't take it
You're too disgusted
It was never that "gross"
Somehow you trusted

You realize why
And how we can do
Without eating meat
Or using glue

For these are the evils
In our world today
Many more die
Than need to, I say!

All of this happens
Just for a patty
A Whopper with cheese
To make us all fatties

So what would you do
Go eat a turkey?
A burger? With fries?
Or just a beef jerky?

Maybe you've heard enough to change you...its just too bad this is what it takes.
