PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

We have nothing to offer you

say captive cows

but our blood sweat & tears.

The blood humans cook and stir into gravy.

The sweat, uric acid, is the pre-urine in their muscle cells

which even more than caffeine causes spine pain.

The tears of their terrified agony now adrenaline which saturates their bodies

causing terror and anger in those who eat their flesh.

Footnote:

(to Alex Pacheco and Ingrid Newkirk, cofounders of PETA)

Only some of the links of adrenaline are broken by

cooking. Enough remain intact that eating meat

is the chemical equivalent of eating depression

and anger.
