042710f Our Cruel Teeth Poem by Manonton Dalan

i feel those lips of the sea
is as much gentle to many
we watch them like superstar
dropping by for a quick bites
we applaud them competing
for falling food; who can jump higher
who can gulp more, who is pretty
for me they are all strong and sexy

i imagine it takes a bigger fish than those
for my fish sandwich; half of their body go
go to waste; sinking to ocean deep for me
to enjoy my food. no wonder we raise chicken
for more meat and of course our greedy pocket
i can't blame those who loves leaves; would they
agonize for blade cutting through their stem
ah! we have to take life for us to survive, how
how much, as many as you could eat...
