Poem: We and the Animals
Published in
Jun 3, 2024
Death prevailed. We were too weak against it
We lost countless lives until someone said
‘Let us turn death against the animals’
We bred for killing, and we killed millions
This kept death busy for the longest time
We grilled the meat, devoured it with relish
We grew older, taller, and healthier
But death followed every morsel of meat
Into our bodies and deep in our souls
Causing the most disastrous maladies
