The Grass Eaters

the earth's green provides for our needs
and the most prolific vegetation is grass
but do not compare humanity with bovines
and other grass eaters tho there is no escaping it
rice, rye, barley, wheat, maize/corn etc, are
all grasses which provide staples for the populations
of entire continents

discovered as a reliable food-source they were
cultivated allowing for stores of food without the need
to gather and hunt daily, which led to the formation of communities
and free time which led to the developments of writing and culture,
moo, chirp and baa’aa, and so modern man has more in common
with sheep than lions

notice how easy large herds of humans are led by their shepherds
follow me this way, but not that way, baa’aa

i’ve often wondered if a chemical exists in grass based foods that facilitate
servility, the need to follow rather than cut a solo course like tigers,
what is it about human sheep that makes them so susceptible to
servitude, the urge to follow?

have u seen how easy it is for slaughterhouses to lead grass eating
cattle and sheep to their deaths, the victims not realising
they have been led to their deaths until
the very end, but then it’s too late?

perhaps if we paid more attention to the shepherds
it would awaken the herd

they are wolves that delight in managing, exploiting and consuming passive,
fear ridden grass eaters
