Eat To Live Or Live To Eat
That one eats to live is a lie.
This maxim will simply not fly.
Since everyone dies,
death acts as life's prize.
And therefore, we all eat to die.
That we live to eat seems quite right.
Life trickles away bite by bite.
But this we deny
and strongly decry
while drooling at food's very sight.
