The Death Around Us
by Maia W.
On our plates
Dead, no comment
In our carts
Dead, no comment
On our menus
Dead, no comment
Plastered on billboards
Dead, no comment
On our feet
Dead, no comment
In our jackets
Dead, no comment
In the stores
Dead, no comment
In our mouths
Dead, no comment
In the fields
Look, cows!
How cute.
So fuzzy.
See the baby?
Have you heard of fluffy cows?
The Oreo ones are my favorite.
I want to hug it!
Absent from our plates
Where’s your protein?
Absent from our carts
That’s rabbit food.
Absent from our menus
Ew, tofu!
Absent from the billboards
Can we eat somewhere else?
Absent from our feet
Those are knockoffs.
Absent from our jackets
But faux isn’t as soft!
Absent from the stores
Vegetables are gross!
Absent from our mouths
Why do you have to be so extreme?
Absent from the fields
Wait, where did all the cute cows go?
