The Etiquette of Equity

The buzzard now puzzles the carcass on the road
Holding the Divine Discernment for life in beak
Is that a Christian or black brother in distress 
It sure looks tasty on the barren desert menu

Equality and equity are good for the digestion
Spiced with barbarian flies over the deceased

What circles up above is true love
Vulture and Buzzard are just words
Added to your lexicon for the feast

Never speak with your mouth full
It is impolite in the equity of eating
Please pass another equal amendment
It appears to be another mandate out of reach
