Me thinks that Fiji had it right,
Save all the world from hungers plight,
More loving kind, they was and tender,
If you had a fender bender,
In the oven stuck to eat,
That extra piece of meat,
Or even on the hunt for food,
Brought home whatever catch they could,
Was it turkey or gorilla?
Of some fancy young chinchilla,
Meat it was, all meat,
All was good enough to eat,
No housing shortage did exist,
Tenants often payments missed,
A regular event, you didn’t pay the rent,
Last minutes on the spit you spend,
It might have been an art,
To see who gots what part,
I bet you, just as here, they would,
Take the best part first, they could,
The ones with all the trinkets tips,
Surely too, would get first dibs,
The tender parts, like pate,
Would end up on their plate,
It was the Aussies and the Christian crowd,
That such practice disallowed,
What did they know of Momma earth?
So rich and plentiful gave birth,
Nowhere now they have to go,
Except for six feet down below,
What waste, of tasty morsels part?
Be it liver, kidney or the heart,
Waiting to get olde and die,
Somewhere float into the sky,
Better young some tummy feed,
Not shovel or mortician need,
To feed that funerary greed,
No need for overpopulation,
Or that United Nation,
Instead of cruel factory farms,
Or military arms,
No need to fight then bury dead,
Clean battlefields, there be instead,
I’m sure some French chef genius skill,
Morsels make, of every kill,
You’d never know if mixed with other,
All of it in sausage smoother,
Where it Porky, Jack, or Sue,
It wouldn’t bother you,
Why would you think it better be?
Rather chicken, pork, not me,
Or someone from your family tree,
You’d save the world you see,
No need grow old and wise,
Tell all those fairy tales, and lies,
Best you young and tender,
You someone’s happy tummy enter,
Still all the hunger in the world,
If this tradition be unfurled,
Would not, the adverts on the buses read?
Enjoy your neighbour’s seed.

PS. As lettuce is a living thing, so, here's new for those dumb vegetarians, you wouldn't like the language of a salad after you bit a salad leaf, no that it will make no difference, you ain't eatin' meat!
Powerful feelings expressed so well - an outstanding penning!!
Best to you,
Lance
Be always safe,
