Lost Vegan Heart

bijou, tiny, miniature, mini 
small and little ego of ones' self
unseen isolation of bondage
makes I (me) grow 
ever so increasingly cruel, savage, and mean 
i do believe i am not 
vegan anymore in my heart  
for i want the taste of bloody freedom 
that comes with the spilling of blood 
and the eating of raw meat 
my teeth are not sharpen 
with jurist committee knowledge 
but only hope that my own blood 
will point the way 
and show just how many sharks
are stirring in 
the entertainment entertaining waters
