It screams
It wails
But I am patient
I will wait
I take the key from the table and hide it in a drawer
I will not let it out
No matter how much it pleads
My stomach growls
But I will survive until then
Until my dinner is ready
I'm intelligent like that
I'd rather wait until my meal is bigger than eat it now
I look at my catch through ravenous eyes
The hunger is blinding
It has eyes of chocolate
The ruddy skin promising me the most delectable meat underneath
That just makes my waiting all the more difficult
I will not feel bad
For putting it in a cage
For torturing it
For savoring it's fear
The tears are a flavoring of a most delicious salt
I will not feel bad
For eating it's parents
For doing so in front of it
For licking my lips and using a bone to pick my teeth
They were delectable
I am not human
It is
I am in power
It is not
There are days when it screams especially loud
I am not concerned
It has started rapidly growing
My mouth waters at the sight of such meat forming
I can hardly wait to silence it's screams
Today is a loud day
But today is The Day
I lick my lips
Pull out my sword
Stick it through the bars
And watch as my meal takes it's last shuddering breath
