Eating, Is Nuts Today

“Pass the cardboard, please, I’m starving.”
No carbs, no gluten, gmo free, 
And best of all.
It tastes like cardboard.

Gorg the Great, of caveman fame
All he asked for was a pack of Double Stuf Oreos.
His wife shot him a look.
And he died on the spot.

I ate three strawberry and peanut butter Crustables today.
No more hunting and gathering.
No more hours of prepping a meal.
Just unwrap and chew.

The President of the United States,
Fills a table with fast food burgers and fries.
For the most elite athletes of our day.
Setting the most, best, grandest example for our youth.

Remember when eggs were bad for you?
Then, good for you?
Then, bad for you?
Then, a necessity to create chickens?

Slaveowners, savoring slow bites of free labor, from each slave,
Powerful pimps sucking the future from child prostitutes.
Ignorant hordes, gorging on the words
Of neurotic leaders.
All of us, digesting fossil fuels and defecating in the sky.

Ever see an elephant half-eaten in the bush?
A family of lions bloated, fly larva drowning in flesh? 
Above, buzzards circling for their turn?
On the perimeter, hyenas pacing and drooling? 

I’ve lost my appetite.
