DINNER

DINNER, inspired by Yui. It's time for dinner. What shall we have? Brothers and sisters, the fatted calf? Served with lettuce and bread. Tomatoes and fries. Why are we eating the dead? It may not be a fellow being persay. Is a fellow creature nonetheless. As an issue of conscience. I find myself bitten hard. Very hard. Internal debate. External deliberation. I rarely eat meat myself. Sorry to say, I love the smell. Love the taste more. Could never work in an abattoir. My conscience would be ripped to shreds. Poor creatures sadly rendered dead. My heart it bleeds each time I think. Killing to eat is barbaric. This poem is written in the best possible taste. Sadly, so is the meat. (c)Livvi MMXV
