Summer Cooking

Cabal’s Cantankerous Carnival


Carefully they plot the final climax before midnight falls at summer tides

Anticipate what is brewing in the potty vessel of self-righteous ritual

Bellow the fire smack lips full of distasteful belief in merits of power

Add aroma with relish spice up grubby gruel grab ingest and deliver

Lust for confluence of mouth-watering dishes served with a price

Surrender humanity on their quest for more greed more consumption


Clearly man must eat and woman must feed gobble up nourishment

Altars stand tall but Lucifer serves no reminder of Satan’s crooked flesh

Resolution and resilience to international cuisine quite a chart on the menu

No mind is an island but with the right spoon they rule currents and water

Incriminate ingredients when the chief potboiler stirs oil limbo and stench

‘Virtue’ they shout ‘Pursuit of Happy Homicide’ ‘Survival of Fattest Egos’ Might'

A potent mixture emerges when eye balls turn jelly when brains overcook

Let us consider whether gluttonous carnage remains cannibalism at heart

You are always welcome to sharing dinner and reflection. I am moving to Spain from South Africa in due course. That would be closer for you I suppose. Kind wishes, Kai
