The Sheep

Cannibals eating cannibals
gorging on food
from the inside, inside-out
the body and blood
opting no one to survive
 
we become what we eat
the blood spill about our feet
and some on your cheek
our image and likeness
in the pursuit of eternal life
 
we feel ourselves grow
we need to grow to live
in this old, old world
fill our minds with  
hopes and dreams
