Native Soiled
"How is it most cultures are generally alike?"
-- the culture of a Rational Ethics,
the sole exception to the rule
*
How could a humpbacked, shaggy-haired wild ox
disdain to be among the Native stocks,
to offer up its innards, skin, and flesh,
in making wholesome Native snacks sliced fresh?
How could the creature balk or hem and haw
on being asked to give its organs raw
to nuke in secs a healthy Native treat,
like but a bit of minced neat's tongue or teat?
How could the brute let out a hue and cry
against its shedding blood to pacify
the Native thirst for rank and rectitude,
besides a salty sauce for bison stewed?
How could the beast not yield its beastly breast
to spice each dish delish of those oppressed?
