I Am Not a Living Grave - Momentum

How to communicate a feeling

this empathy with non humans

to feel hatred towards your own kind

for these acts of betrayal

I am sickened by your smiles

and jokes at their expense

belittle rape and slavery

with little more than ignorance

(you say I am) belligerent and self righteous

sensitive and deluded

my words brushed off with platitudes

of maybes and unfeeling

We didn’t always feel this

We denied it like everyone else

It took time to make connections

and now we eat our bloody words

So quick to call us zealots

that we preach a false sermon

yet our conclusions came from learning

where our food comes from

we wrote a whole record

to this sickening industry

a choice to eat or a right to life?

it all comes down to this

A blot upon our record

taken down a peg or two

I am not a living grave

our very anatomy

herbivore

I am not a living grave

define our biology

herbivore

Their lives are in your hands

they’re in your throat, rotting inside of you.
