The Court of the Mind - Meat v. Veggie

On the docket for some time now,
counsel's echoed arguments bounce
off T-bones and tofu- all in between;
this meat, this flesh?
These beans, these greens?
Not slated for meat, carnivorous not,
our teeth non-incisored,
I guess we forgot- no memo came down
from Darwin's thick file,
so we pick meat from our teeth and continue to smile.
So, evolution decreed a diet of plants-
grasses, mushrooms, wheat and soy-
but the wicket for me, at first sticky glance-
Fillet with bearnaise; oh, man, oh, boy!
I love a good steak, medium per chance?
But it's dead dammit, dead...flesh robbed of life;
to be killed for my dinner, it just doesn't seem nice.
But it's been this way since very first scribble!
Proof in charcoal on cave walls while
the mastodon sizzled.
No Neanderthal U. for curious men,
no guide but desire dictating what, and when.
But here in the now, this enlightened age,
the Mastodons' gone and pigs scream through a cage.
When knowledge of energy, all things revealed
prove there's negative, positive energy fields,
one must ask, and I ask you-
How does a cow differ from pets?
They both breathe and eat, and feel joy I'll bet.
If you confined your dogie, or kitty cat dear,
had them sleep in their feces and fed chemical slop,
if you ripped their young from a still milky teat,
then put a bullet in baby for young tender meat,
and after this life, ever one step from death,
with clinical chill caused their last breath,
all that negative energy building inside
stays in their system right to your tummy,
and where does it go, this negative vibe?
Why, nowhere, nowhere...it just festers inside.

All you need is some good land to grow organically
spiritually and moral my good man!
All you need to dream is a kind heart and sensible
rational plan laid out in a dream
to feed them all.
I love to see it, when a meat man turns Veggie, I know it's hard at first.,
But it can be very cool too! I know this.
Hey, if you eat meat, just eat free range. Give them critters a chance. We'd all be better for it don't ya know.
Peace! PS.. I make a mean veggie shepard's pie, and bean burger.
I love the asparagus the beet, the spinach with crazy spices sprinkled in.
I do like cheese from the cow, and the goat. I still eat those things, and eggs baby, sorry little chicks that never were.
Glad to see you've joined the team Invierno! Loved your poem here.
Peace!
