Down the Meat Aisle

We carnivores
of an alleged sensitive bent
rip into barbecued flesh
glazed in selective ignorance.. 

Skimming past the cruelty
inflicted on the grilled carcass
we are currently devouring..

Our indignant vegan friends
who ride shotgun with angels
skewer our hypocrisy
with their anti meat arguments
as we respond...

"Pass the ketchup"..

Though deep down
in the clogged bowels
of our lost conscience
we know that everybody
from our whole predatory
dominant species
is destined to be
the tasty prey
for ravenous worms
feasting on our mortality...

Karma patiently rides a life cycle
