Autoplay

When one frequently eats
the decaying cadavers
of innocent murdered animals
his body becomes
a cemetery mobile
until disease
makes him immobile.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM

Footnote:

Leonardo DaVinci: My body will not be a grave for other creatures.

William Shakespeare: What is thy body but a swallowing grave?

George Bernard Shaw:
We are the living graves of murdered beasts,
Slaughtered to satisfy our appetites.
We never pause to wonder at our feasts,
If animals, like men, can possibly have rights.
