LUST FOR FOOD! By Oliver Plaice, www.PoetryPoem.com/oliverspoems Unlock all Features - Upgrade to Poetry Prime
When I stare around on this floating carnival
My eyes are saddened. They become humble with tears.
Seeing mountains of food wasted, disposed of, discarded
Like all human kind. Are we living in a land of milk and honey?
These animals eat and waste food without concern about reality
Ordering over sized meals which they cannot stuff down into bellies
which bulge like pregnant men walking around waiting to have twins...
These people walk the ship waiting for the next snack, the next pile up time.
They have no respect for the poor and dying in Africa, or Syria and the refugees
These people have one rule in life that is to eat and to eat. This is their Motto.
A cruise ship now is full of fat bellied people who eat their way through the week
I sat on being a vegetarian watching in awe, thinking...When will it all stop?
