Satoru: What do we have here – some vegetarian credo? Ying: Sounds like it. The author probably had ambivalent feelings about meat. Frida: Hey – all of us are meat. In the belly of time we're all being devoured, so why not enjoy the food that comes? Dmiritri: Because what death with dignity is in a slaughterhouse?
It's jes' a small hamburger, right?
W r o n g
It's also support for an economic infrastructure
& vote for Ronald McDonald's Way of Life
It's an agreement with animal slaughter
& acceptance ah everything consumerism implies
It also says "go ahead"
ta genetic processing, artificial ingredients,
low employee wages
& advertising ta irritate yer ears & eyes
It's also a message ah indifference
ta the millions who can't eat
so a few kun enjoy more cocktailz-caviar-n-beef
Look closer between the buns:
the issues our planet needs ta face
are in each burger on yer plate
