Evolutionary ladder

Our culinary ladles
Sadly appear
To more often than not
Find a reason to fear
On laboratory tables
Or in specimen jars
Apes can be found
And are somewhat the stars
No choice no sacrifice
Apparently
Some will eat monkey meat
Apparently
Remember as children
Our teachers were there
We believed
Them apparently
What they
did share
Legs of lamb
And calf cutlets
Babies of choice
Throttled and silenced
They failed to give voice
To the agonised screams
Of the slaughter mans axe
Filling our guts
With the murderous facts
