Her

I remember the taste

the scrumptious meat.

Biting into flesh

Life was a treat.

I remember the look

the face that smiled

the one that said

‘are you buying me for a dime’?

A favour, I did

Let you die with a slit.

A favour I did

You’ll be re-born with wit.

Why? We all need to survive

If not you, I’d die

Why? The plants don’t cry?

If not you, why must they die?

One day I saw

One day I heard.

One day I choked.

With an unsought sight.

Eat a human. We all need to survive

If not you, I’d die.

Why? The animals don’t cry?

If not you, why must they die?

My senses are sensitive

Little more than the cow

If I butcher my own

I'd cry on just the sound.

Cows too are sensitive

Little more than the spinach

If you butcher her

Her friends would hate that screeching sound.

It’s because she’s hurt

It’s because she’s crying

It’s because they know

They’re next in line.

Hey Hey, human!

Yelps every animal.

Eat me if you must.

Just kill me quick.

Hear my dying wish.

I’d like some food.

A place to rest.

(I'd like to live)

Let my folks not see

While you butcher me to death.
I promise- I'll still be your best friend.
