Real Meat

Real Meat

Real meat
Is dead
It's dead

What you are putting
Into your mouth
Once had a face
Once had a life
Now it’s just empty calories that never had a chance at a life

At truly existing
It's in your head now
Nothing left to be said

Cause real meat is dead

So, go eat a veggie burger instead.

Ruby Macaw

Ruby Macaw

Ruby macaw brilliantly flashes its feathers at me

Flickering them so vividly it reminds one of a señoritas skirt

Flirting with anyone whom catches a look

At the beauty inherent in flamenco

Ruby Macaw you are so pretty

It makes me nauseated to think

How endangered your species must be

And all because you are too pretty

Maybe you should tone it down

Maybe you should change your vibrant red feathers brown

Maybe that would save you from the terrible fate of being stuck behind an iron gate

For the rest of your lingering existence

Just because you are too pretty.
