TO EAT OR NOT TO EAT

Thea Moore

To eat or not to eat

That stuff that we call meat

What's really goin' on

When you suckin' on the bone

Pullin at the marrow

Might as well just shoot an arrow

Straight thru your heart, your stomach, and your bowels

Why shorten your life for the taste of some cow?

Well you could just “Eat mo Chikn”

Or better yet you could be lickin

Your fingers from the juice of a cherry

Fresh mango, watermelon, or strawberry

Yet you constantly fiend

For some pork in your greens

But did you ever notice that it sho' make you mean?

You should expect some frustration

From the constant constipation

Of meat sittin' in your body for days

Yet you still act amazed

Buckin' and rollin' your eyes

Actin' so surprised

When folks ask, “Man, what crawled up in you and died?”

Well it was dead when you ate it

So that when you defecated

I passed by the bathroom and man I almost fainted

It makes me wanna holler

Smoked turkey in my collards

I won't be buyin' sickness with my hard earned dollar

How much will you pay

To have it your way?

Yeah, we know you deserve a break today

Buying self-destruction

Overlooking filthy production

Cause what happens when it's processed is anybody's guess

You can ask what they put in it but the truth they won't confess

You're better off trying to figure out what they put in Spam

Come on, ya'll do know that it's more than just spiced ham

It looks good in Kash and Karry

But it's really kinda scary

Got you believing eatin' flesh is something ordinary

But let's not forget

About suckin' on the teat

Naw brothers not your boo

But the beasts that moo

Drinking milk and eating cheese is killing you too

Yeah I know you a breast man

But I'm tryin to help you understand

Killin' you with animal products is part of the master plan

While you sippin' animal secretions

That's furthering your deletion

They're taking plans of mass genocide to the ultimate completion

Propaganda machines so well built

That you don't even feel no guilt

As you consume the trash they feed you and then you ask if they “Got Milk?”

It's by their orchestration

To remove our population

Don't think it's only rumors

Profuse bleeding in her bloomers

Meat and dairy that she's eating feeding fibroids and the tumors

Sisters dying, and there's no room

For new life in her to bloom

Suffering pain and agony of assault against the womb

Doin' all they can to prevent the birth

Of yet one more from the Mothers of Earth

Ain't no mercy for those who menstruate

But my brothers ya'll ain't safe

As you chew upon that steak

That's jackin' up your prostate

You'll be tryin' to bust a nut when you can't even bust a grape

Meat will kill and weaken you mind, body, and spirit

I'm tryin' to tell you true but you still ain't tryin' to hear it

They tell you that pork is the other white meat

Don't fall for the okey doke but after me repeat

Lips that touch swine will never touch mine

Open up that third eye and quit walkin' around blind

For me it's plain and simple

Animal products defile the temple

As I look at that pot belly

Ain't no way that you can tell me

Veganism is not the solution

To rid your body of pollution

It's time to take some action

To eliminate the putrefaction

I'm not here to try to scorn ya

Just don't say I didn't warn ya

You may laugh at what I'm eatin'

But hear the truth in what I'm speakin'
