thoughts were absent
it appears
the dead flesh rots too soon
the so called vegan alternatives
play an impressive tune
Dressed up in vegetation
pea protein and old soy
mashed together
with salt as such
made to bring you joy
fatuity and an empty head
thats all you want from me
slap vegan on it
watch them
its where they want to be
blood and guts and offal
thats their mystery
thats where they make their fortunes
stripping life away
pigs and chickens crying out
lost souls made to pay
and now the gm soya
The seitan solidly
lots of crispy tempeh
no you will not see
just the heavily processed
goodness knows its there
they are rubbing their hands
with utter glee
plant based on the block
Its on every shelf you see.
