It happens pigs eat the flesh of dead men; Men eat the pig-gut sausages, contrariwise. Pigs do not seem to mind the human stink; Men, conversely, say pork smells sweet. When pigs die men toss them into the water; When men die they are buried in the ground. If could it be that they never eat one another, A lotus would sprout up even in boiling broth.

speaking in most simple terms,'shit is what makes corn grows...' by the way, a lotus is also eatable plant, from root to petals, because it grows up in mud. This is quite invertible realm once one of its extremes is reached. However, despite all rules and norms of being, some purities remain to be untouchable and non-invertible, the white lotus as it is, but it's at another level of a man's viewpoint... Cheers, alex

Too many riddles for me. I understand the process and I am grateful that there are insects and animals that eat decaying flesh so that it can be regenerated into food fit to eat. Where the Lotus comes in, I don't know, except that it's a beautiful, smelly flower that has great significance among some Eastern religions.
