Well at least you'll be eating bacon from a contented hog with not stress hormones. This sends my emotions in all kinds of directions. Great write. Keep the creative pen flowing. Sara

Once again creatures to represent another creatures demise? Pigs in a mud hole; fat and stubborn, who are no warriors, but to themselves. Glorious in contentment; But of course! Why not be happy with the right in front of not needed to be search gruel, no need for pain of trying. Ah, but soon bacon! Blinded by simple happiness, feeding on their easy pleasures are the very things that are helping them be later fed upon. Very interesting Haiku, could of been simply what it said or something more.

Now, that is definitely absolutely, wonderfully, great! And we all partake. The history lesson we can all understand. Brilliant, Marty. (Oh, by the way, I have a cousin named Marty. Smiling.) Sending love your way! Lovingly, Dane Ann
