Ethical Meat
Lean
Delicate
“ne plus ultra”
Cooked slow
Gastronomically Intelligent
Unassuming
Gentle
Docile
Fashionable
“ne plus ultra”
Ethical
Ecological ...
...voices rumbling through refined-dining,
Excuse Moi, Mr.Gluttony
Since when is Meat Ethical?
If meat became so Ethical,
Then,
How Ethical You are?
Sheathing your hypocrisy
and luck of humanity
with pompous words,
style and fancy clothes,
while you tingling your gustative papillae
with “le goût friand”, étiquette,
capris and mannerism.
You
Don’t kill the rabbit! so
the rabbit can kill you in no time, “pooka”
Don’t tell
No one pre-empt you,
when asking for healing.
