Help Me Survive
No more can I live on the meat
Of living things (nor on corpses).
Their milk, too, is for their newborns
And their eggs are their future kids.
I cannot feed on plants either.
They themselves should live for a while
And their seeds are future plants, too.
I just should live on minerals.
Good people (not your vicious ones)!
I don't ever need your preaching;
I'm — sorry — blockheaded than you.
I simply don't know chemistry.
I wasted all my life on math
And humanities. Just give me
A list of minerals like salt
And water to help me survive.
