Make It Rare

Red Meat, so sweet to eat?
Environmental damage at our feet.
So much crude oil, oats, and wheat,
to make a pound of sweet red meat.

By eating much less
of that animal flesh,
our poor friends to the south
have more grain to dole out.

With less meat on our plate,
we'll delay our fate.
Our hearts will beat stronger,
we'll have friends much longer.

Butcher, chop your meat.
Millions daily is no easy feat.
We're coming, coupon in hand,
to contaminate our glands.

Burger, fries and shake,
will we consumers ever wake?
Perhaps when land and fuel are gone,
the light of wisdom will come on.
