Cannibals

The visceral pains were sharp, stinging and stern!
She swallowed them, in the bloody biting bitterness.
The gory talons of the fat obstetricians hung loose,
Ready to clamour for the afterbirth, salivating like hungry female canines. 
“Think of the baby,” said the stony-hearted, vampire-looking hag;
Whose fat mouth dripped blood.
Back home, a shrieking owlet flew over her husband’s hut.

Banana Slug Cannibals

Fact is. We're stranded here.
With an ever ungrateful-Godless population.
Resources are far beyond strained.
The selfish leadership perched upon nuclear oriented brains...
We're in a race to see if we can outrun the dark side of ourselves. 
Into the safety mirage of our stained glass spaces.

We move like banana slugs.
Trying to escape the flames.
Of a renegade campfire of

Cannibals Are People Too

Leaning toward cannibalism?
You might want to give it a go
Overall they're not a bad lot,
They are people too, you know

Paranoia runs quite rampant 
Amongst any Cannibal troupe
Looking down trodden or weary
May cause you to land in the soup!

Careful you don't get too fat
A discerning diners first choice
They all speak deeply with power
No weakness should be

Three Philosopher Cannibals

Asked three cannibal philosophers,
named Who
and What
and Why
is eating life so bad
without smothering it in catsup?

Who is serving What
and Why
to Whom 
on Earth is NotWho?
Already eaten
by re-connecting tissue issues

Do we invest in ever more and better 
win/lose capitalistic head-hunters?
Playing Either/Or ZeroSum games
of deadly loss
over fulfilling and resiliently continued life together?

Or Win/Win Christian
and Islamic
and Buddhist
nondualistic nature/spirits inviting

Carnival of Cannibals and Crabs

Life's a carnival ride, a bag of barkers and crabs
pinching the mind with pink toys and shiny swag
stuffing your mind with sweet soft fuzzy things
wraps you in heavy chains and a cold nose ring,
leads you to a fiery, Ferris wheel ride of denial
plunks you aside a bearded lady-opening thighs
you want to jump off but your

Cannibals

Cannibals
By Laura Dee Battle
December 8, 2014

Cannibals in my mind of mine
Come on back sweetly
It feels so divine 

Approach me discreetly 
I'll run every time
It's always for me 

Time cannot rewind 
Days are empty 
Things I wasn't meaning to find 

Cause you remind me
Sometimes we're so kind
Everything we wanted to be

I'm losing my wasted mind
Ran out

Cannibals

Doubt that hungers souls 
Captures the innocent thoughts of love 
What reason do I have to flee when it is trust 
That deceives me……
Sadness remains then in an empty heart
As I admired an angel 
That thing jealousy lives fat, 
Devouring romantic souls and collecting shrunken Hearts
Youth is what catches its eye, Envy of the treasure

Language Cannibals

Consuming brain waves from plentiful touch
Exchange of sorrow, mirth, and incredulous dirges
Following the sign of the times
Discourse as it reeks from chest cavities
Angsting bloated bodies barrelled into walking murmur
You sleepy disease fungal fortunes run amiss
Runinous with divisive claims

Konna Papam Thenal Therum: a Plea To Cannibals

You have killed me.
Save yourself--eat me.

Nail me to a pretzel
Hang me by my feet
Drown me in molten sugar
And you may eat 
My candied fingers.
My eyes will linger
In the brittle as bubbles.
But if it isn't too much trouble,
When you're done,
Bury my bones
So I can go home.

*AUTHOR'S NOTE: The title is a saying among Malayalees (those who

Dirty Cannibals

Look at em'
Dirty little cannibals
Gnawing at the brain
Pinching nerves off, only to digest humanity
Such a bitter taste it leaves
Almost as bitter as the cannibals themselves
Long jagged fingernails
Excellent for finger pointing
And eye gouging
Their breathing is loud anxious and ragged
Almost like they know the moment of blame is ending
And yet everyday we watch them munch with delight
The

Cannibals

They bite me, 
they maul me,
They're feeding on my flesh.
They tear, they dig into my corpse, 
until theres nothing left.

enjoying every drop of blood,
they sink their teeth in me,
Devouring all my inner strength,
ignoring all my pleads.

I try to fight theses monsters,
but they do not fear me,
They only want the hope I have,
 that lingers still

Cannibals

A world full of cannibals
Some people are lucky 
They get eaten twice a day
And there are those that never do
In truth were all cannibals
That burger you had for lunch
May as well have been your wife
Or sister in law bet she’d like that.

Sweet Cannibals Mine

Death! A lifeboat adrift on a sea 
with sailors who are mates of mine. 
Thirst and hunger we all shall be 

it is hard to think of a tougher time. 
As a hot sun burns so as we drift 
water now would taste as wine. 

With my sacrifice I hope to give, 
a gift of
