The altar of taste

 


My master stuffs up his pocket

Strung upon his tattered garb

My sinews are getting leaked

Pierced cut by cut , slowly

Then they stuff my tatters

Oh wow ! It is some delicacy

My eyes remain open to the pain

The knives that slit my gut

Hurt less than the sight of smile

When the master stuffed his pocket

Once assured of the reward

He handed me over to a knife

My reward of life and being born

To die a death of humanity.

The floor is smeared all over

The pious throng is jubilant

They have earned their salvation

Once I have lost blood and saliva.
