Enlightened Taste
By Mario A. Pita
If violence were tasted when meat is eaten
Of helpless and innocent creatures beaten
Then many might shun the bitter flavor
And do themselves and others a favor.
If eaters of meat could taste the aches
Endured by cows for sake of steaks,
Perhaps theyd see the gross mistake:
Their lives are not ours to take.
But taste buds, like tree buds, need to open
For sensing a doomed beasts emotions,
Of fear and anguish, a lot like ours
Whose terror and sorrow too are sour.
If taste buds could taste an animals pain
Then people, from eating them, might refrain.
Mario A. Pita
