Compete To Eat
|
||||
Life is a matter
Of take and give.
Something must die
So that something might live.
Chicken and cow
Are no longer alive;
They died
So that we might survive.
Wheat and corn,
Turnip and sugar cane,
Sacrifices in
The living game.
We sow and grow,
Slaughter and devour
To live another minute--
Another hour;
Until we die
And become a grand feast
For every manner
Of wee beast.
So what life is all about,
I have grown to discover,
Is a continuous bout
Of feeding on each other.
So pass the potatoes;
Pass the ham.
I eat;
Therefore I am.
