A poem about people eating people...simple enough :)

-Animals Turned Cannibals-

Animals
Turned cannibals
Always looking for food
All-consuming bastards
Nothing is safe
Most of all
Each one of them
Survival
Destruction
One and the same
At minimum
Two players in every
Conceivable game
One winner
One loser
One victim
One victimizer
All suckling upon the teat
Looking for some relief
There will be none
All hunger is the same
The pain quickly invades
Poisoning the weakest mind
Making things unthinkable
Abundantly understandable
Justification meets qualification
Without regret
Despite God’s wish
Such a terrible act
Must be committed
If survival is the driving
Force behind it
Such a fate
Once implemented
Cannot be rescinded
This is not about anthropophagi
This is about eating
This is about devouring
Skin, meat, bone, and home
This about everything
Turned into nothing
This is about a life reduced
To nothing more than a meal
And thus a soothing feeling
That only comes with
An overstuffed gut
Animals
Turned cannibals
Always looking for food
All-consuming bastards
Nothing is safe
Most of all
Each one of them
They will face certain doom
If not at their own hands
Than at the mouths
Of everyone else
So desperately looking
For something to eat…
