    Tutti mi manchi (I miss you all),
    said the girl to her goats, as
    the slaughterhouse loomed.

    the slaughterhouse loomed,
    without a care, cattle moved
    through the gate of death

    Thank you, My Flower. I didn't think I could do it either!


    through the gate of Death,
    the long dusty trail now over—
    cattle become food…
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    cattle became food,
    irrigated corpses,
    carcass for the crows
    My hide hides the heart inside

    carcass for the crows
    to feed on. Steaks for me. The
    veins for dental floss

    Veins for dental floss
    Of lost victims of these crimes,
    Against humanity.


    Awful thought...but could not do much with that last line...sorry

    Sorry is on my part, Janine. I've been in a state of morbidity lately.

    Yes, I can see that....hey me, too...but try to cheer up.....

    Against humanity,
    Background of colorful life;
    Nature soothes us all.

    nature soothes us all
    in a cold embrace of life
    the harsh winds do blow

    Winter, eventually,
    Will give way to spring!

    Will give way to spring,
    where we all die, for plants won't
    photosynthesize

    Photosynthesize!
    absorb stifling gas, let light
    give back breath and food
    Voices mysterious far and near,
    Sound of the wind and sound of the sea,
    Are calling and whispering in my ear,
    Whifflingpin! Why stayest thou here?

    Give back breath and food,
    To he who lies in streets;
    Countless souls in need.

    Countless souls in need
    Of their isolation's end,
    Come together here.
