Some of my otherwise brilliant and productive friends 
(like scoundrels and their flags) 
take final refuge in character assasinations; 
hey ignore the issue and deny the relation between our consumption and [bad word]  
So you can go ahead and roll your eyes and marginalize me 
socially penalize me: play on my insecurities. 
And you can feign ignorance, but you're not stupid, you're just selfish. 
And you're a slave to your impulse. 
And I kinda thought we all [bad word] threads in that we gravitated 
here to challenge the conventions we've been fed by a culture that treats 
(living, breathing, feeling) creatures like (biological) machines. 
And if you buy that [bad word] then how long 'till it's me who serves as [bad word]  
Through (for example), 
institutionalized violence and oppression of workers and women raped by ism 
(and how about native americans?). 
Do you still insist on feigning indignance (aka: indignation) to reason? 
To collective self-interest? 
Tell you what- I'll call you on your [bad word]  
PLEASE CALL ME ON MINE. 
Then we can grow together and make this [bad word] hole planet better in time. 
So why not consider someone else: STOP CONSUMING ANIMALS.
