Kate Rice with a poem.

Of Meat And Men

War Makes Meat Of A Man
the white marbled slab of wealth
whole and without cut
in its red brick abode
♞♜♝
 you are no such prime slice
 bloody and tender and quick to rot
 diced and piled high
 on No Man’s Table
♞♜♝
meal of cheap cuts 
shoulder and shank 
broiled and stewed soft 
to feed the few 
 ♞♜♝
you are easy to buy
and easy to carve
butcher shop gristle
cut the baby fat off you.

Kate Rice is a peace baby.
