For Me For To Live Poem by Francis Duggan

I am not a vegetarian of this i will not lie
For me for to live other creatures do die
A lot of water and land life i do eat
Since i am a person who likes fish and meat
The creatures i eat others for me do kill
But of fish and meat i do like my fill
And am i any less guilty than those who kill for me?
Guilty by association is how it seems to be
Of singing their praises i never could tire
Vegetarians can live without meat for that them i admire
If everyone were like them all edible life forms would die in the natural way
But everybody has different taste buds it does seem fair to say
I am not a vegetarian of this i will not lie
For me for to live other creatures do die.
