Why would God
prefer meat
over vegetables,
fruits and grains
as claimed
in the Bible?
Vegetarians
live longer!
What the past
has proven
is that victors
rewrite history,
and fat and muscle
feed hubris.
Abel, the herder
and meat-eater,
was the survivor
of this ancient
brotherly encounter.
He worded the Bible
to justify his act,
hide his guilt and
blame victim Cain
the crop farmer.
Today, it’s déjà vu
in Darfur,
Janjaweed herders
on camels galloping
roughshod over
farmers, ready
to ram their ropes
and camels through
the eyes of needles
and blind the
eyes of history.
