We are more than just vegetables you know!

When we were young
in our prime,
we were taken from Mother.
Ripped and torn
from our moorings
so to speak.
We were then washed
and placed in cold storage,
some of my closest friends were frozen
like peas and corn.
We were then chosen at random,
washed again then
sliced, diced, some grated,
only to be steamed
and finally eaten.

How barbaric!
Such cruelty I tell you!

Terrible business!
And it’s happening all over the world!

We are all doomed!
Murderers I tell you!

Just plain and simple murders!
Vegans! Killers just like everyone else!

AND did you know, our off bits,
those unwanted parts of us
are fed to the cows!
No way!

Yep! Told by a now deceased friend of mine.
Terrible business!

Don’t they know
we have feelings?
Some folk do talk to us
in our final moments growing up.

So where are you going tonight?
Oh! I’ve been placed into some
Beef and wine casserole with my friends
amongst some herb dumplings.
Oh! That sounds tasty!

What about you carrot?
Well, corn kernels and I are
going into a Tuna Mornay
with mashed Potato.
Yummy!

Poor potato though!
Yes! Terrible drama!

Very nice flow of thoughts. All my children came out two week late. Didn't want to face this world. I enjoyed the tale and story in the poetry. Thank you Andrew for sharing your amazing poetry.
