Force Majeure          
         
"No child asks to be forced into a Real dystopia of untold horrors,          
particularly in not receiving a guarantee from dying in Pain -- slowly."          
-- Big Ethics 101

Reason watching you            
in masses watching it die          
the breeders' product

a dedication of Respect          
for          
snipped and tied tubes    
     
a revolving helios haiku/menippean satire

not making the problem magically vanish

It was a slow burn,
Not a showy, flashy end.
We just slowly starved.
