A Bizzare Business Underway

.
        It is A bizarre operation
        Hoping you will see the
         Context it is written in-
         “Then I opened the lid
          Of the perfume bottle
           And I found the stink
                  Inside “
           Will make each of us
                  Question
       What is it to be a human
                   Is Bizzare
                    Is playing
                      Now
                        \/

       A person opens an eatery 
       he wants to turn 2$ into a profit of 20
       It is perfect and legitimate Then he declares -
That he loves to feed people because it makes profits 
but 1 out of 7 is a worthless eater and should not be alive.
A philosophy that most will despise. Yet his business thrives.
      He then proudly declares it in his shop. -
“Help me make more profit, it is a good business,  participate-
together if we do a good job of feeding people we can eliminate
One of the seven that is 15% of the world population from earth”
People see believe it or ignore but continue to be his consumers 
Now if there is a death of his customer after eating at his place
          will it be murder or suicide. 
The argument from the defendants is that they had declared 
beforehand their vision, of eliminating 15% of the population 
those who were eating paid and consumed willingly in spite
            It is therefore a suicide.
In fact since they knew and yet participated in business
by virtue of being a consumer they therefore should be 
treated as accomplice if murder charge is pressed.
             The business argues - 
Ours is health food, death is a side effect.
