A poem about the flaws in humankind dealing with our need for food and pain.
Humans eat food and pain

Pain inflicted on oneself for desensitizing

And pain inflicted on others for self-gain

Within people who deal pain comes sub divisions

Those who attain attention

And those who harness verbal provisions

Again another level separates in spoken violence

Those who use other’s pain to cover their own

And those who use it as moral defiance

And thus food itself is said to be a sin

As now societies abused it to make picture perfection thin

So are we not allowed to eat in the eyes of religion?

Either way it is a sinful decision

Because we feed on food and pain

These provide nourishment to our unique brain

Humans must have a slight bit of insanity

To balance out the sanity with venality

Because most of us want to give into the fog

As we won’t have to try to clear out the smog

The ones who eat without remorse

Not only do their body’s contours

So as a sin that is the glutton

As the increase we eat in the mutton

Eat in food and eat in pain

As the few who were last fall off the lane

Either we fall in our life

Our religiously fail to the scythe

Better to fast in evil wrongs

And eat only what truly belongs

To us in G-d’s green earth

As he looked away to the black we birthed.
