Ingest In Jest (Sonnet)

A churning, turning act of eating,

The need of material for consumption,

All creatures worship love of feeding

To quench the thirst of satisfaction.

The fear of dire, quick starvation

Turns human to animal again and again.

Caloric need is just an equation,

The math that turns violent beast to man.

The mind sustains on nutritious energy.

An egg that is cracked without its strength

To soothe and provide for harmony

That a being goes for at any length.

Food is life if you are living.

We take all that the world is giving.
