Life eats life, and that is the law

 

I love pouring olive oil

In and out of bottles,

Because it is liquid sunlight,

I love drinking red wine,

Because it is the blood of Christ,

I love eating black pudding,

Because it is the blood of the Pig.

I love eating the liver of the lamb that died for me,

Because it is bloody.

Life eats life, and that is the law

I eat cheese that is alive,

I drink beer that is alive,

And death will eat me,

Render me down

And feed me back to more life
