Cannibalism

Cannibalism

What did the first one think about it? Was it the instinct of a spider? The chill of starvation? The soul desired from body to mouth? What is love? What is fear? Is 'playful' in the same homogeneous mixture as metaphor? Is religion allowed to be used under the same bad breath? How about government, money, exploitation of third world culture, or the increasing number of countries feeling apathy toward these 'worldly superpowers'? Leadership is a facade. Altruistic gestures of apathy. Who was the first man to eat himself? The man who was starving, decrepid, placid, and dissipating or the man standing on top of the oil trade with dollars in his head and bodies on the soles of his shoes? Airplanes never sounded so intriguing. The las breath of America will be the smog of LA. If that is not irony then I give up. I am tired of eating myself and ready to devour something beautiful.
