Cannibalism

Cannibalism is seen as a disturbing thing,
But do people not realise we do way worse things?
We’re not hungry when we kill our own kind,
We’re just a little crazy and out of our minds.
Empowered by jealousy and driven by hate,
We assume we have the power to determine another person’s fate.
Next time you see an ant eat an ant,
Just remember someone, somewhere has killed their own aunt.
