Grazing the grass for breakfast
Eating the kernels of wheat
Ground into flour and cooked
Delicious staff of life
Enjoying sweet fruit as well
Inviting me to partake
A mouthful of ripened ovary
Container of seeds
A seed eater by choice
Favoring the beans and nuts
Along with rice and potatoes
Excellent nutrition
The leafy greens providing
Vitamins for good health
Roughage for good digestion
Farm fresh food
Grain cultivation made possible
All the ancient civilizations
Humans are primarily herbivores
Like all the great apes
I have lost my taste for flesh
The butcher shop smell of death
Though I would consume it
With no other option
A carnivore no more
A different sensibility
A kinship with animals
Feasting on plants
