Why We Eat

Starve that living one; And then see, the dead cells failing to reform, Bringing weaknesses; Slowly stealing it out of breath: Save that brute by an offer of a drink; There, the lungs and the veins being weakened and shrunken, Getting the living troubled by rage; Desiring anything appetizing and edible: Serve the living one with food, Then, study carefully the change, As the living hurriedly rules and devours the virtual as any brute could.
