Food Circle Boogie!

by Dee Pinkney

There's a time to eat
and a time to be et
a mystery nobody's ever splained yet.
to hunt whale or deer
or to eat from a farm:
who is to say which is better karma?
Some say "I'll eat only rice and beans"
Others say even carrots can scream!
I wish I could live on light, water, and air
But God gave me teeth and a gut and hair.
One day I'll lie down,
my flesh I will give
so the grass and the worms and the trees all can live!
So that's why I thank whatever I eat
Cos one way or another
We are all Meat!
