Feeding Ignorance
On hillsides
far from city streets
black and white masses bound
Backs warmed by sun’s rays
Feasts of glorious
green grasses
Crystal clear barrels quench thirst
Aged bodies heaved with care
Post life parings
Thick scarlet sludge
siphoned through cement holes
Walls echo
screams of heavy hanging bodies
separated kin
Buzzing hums
rip wriggling flesh
and spill life
from their fattened bellies.
