Animalia

I do not eat that which I am.

That my family did so before me and taught me to do the same by feeding me myself proves the human nature of following the leader. Proves the perversity of nature. That African peoples, island peoples, indigenous peoples still today have not woken up to their own perverse story of existence flies in the face of their tears.

WAKE UP GOD-DAMN IT.

You’re not the one who suffers.

So you like to play with fire.

So you like to terrorize your neighbors with your screams and punches and wild-eyed dances.

So you like to rip the hearts from the chests of animals and raise them to the Gods.

WAKE UP GOD DAMN IT.

Your hell is you.
