War Against The Tongue

Thwarting compassion for blood and flesh

In their suffering you feast

Sprinkling spices and seasoning

Dismembered body parts wetting your tongue.

Your senses go orgasmic making

While existing misery become non-existent

For some, eyes open doors

For some, there are no eyes

Three inch and ten thousand taste buds-

Governing their brains and souls

Go regard for life for they don't live

Referencing source of ignorance for rationality-

Be science or religion

Be society or personal preference

How deep have you buried your compassion ?

How deep have you buried your love for all ?

If cages, knives and blood visions grandeur

If rape, torture and separation visions normalcy

If suffering, violence and cruelty visions a lifestyle

What you do you see when you stand in front of a mirror ?

I will call you a monster!

But I will not turn my face away from you

I will not be who you are

I am willing to be called the monster for questioning you

But I will not stop screaming for the rights all earthlings deserve.

I will love you as I love all earthlings

I will return to earth as wounded I can be

But I will love you and

Hope my love inspires you expand your circle of compassion to all life

Encompassing beauty of one - beauty of all

Let peace prevail
