Just a Piece of Meat

Ignorance devises us
Makes us look different
We forget who we are
Our existences and connections
We don’t talk about life but money
Union but daily fighting
Reunion but disconnection
We believe that we are different
While using the same oxygen
We don’t know our future 
Without oxygen, we become unsociable 
We differ ourselves just
By colors, knowledge and languages
But never be sure about our future
We are nothing than a piece of meat
Oxygen is just one connection for all
Maintaining by only one master
If it is gone for a minute, we all die
We are just a piece of meat
It’s time for reunion and rethink 
We must not kill and discriminate
But to be at all time one
We are part of the same network
We have the same mission
We lead and create by the same master
If the network is down for a minute, 
We become a piece of smelling meat.

This falls into the category of a narrative poem. I like the flow of the words and the message. The theme is consistent and the images really opens the mind. Great job! ~Joseph

Truly we have become overly dependent on artificial sustenance ... funny how a new culture of atheism that cannot believe without logical proof, can now inhabit a virtual world without fear. I share your concerns
