a storm comes our way
our fear and hate drive it on
it answers our call
we cannot fight storms
winnowers of the world
many fall away
weakness comes from fear
the void lurks in the abyss
between life and death
recognize your fear
it lures us to the abyss
the void takes the weak
hear the sirens’ call
making zombies of us all
wasting life with fear
bring life back to earth
set roots deep in the soil
rooted life gives strength
live for honest death
protect love from the void
love may survive us

“I also like to tell people who are pro-life, that they’re not truly pro-life if they eat meat. OH ZING!”
Vegans eat the unborn young of trees, shrubs, herbs and other plants. They must not be pro-life. (what the hell do you think seeds and nuts are?) Vegans eat the tender young (shoots) of plants.
by the logic of the original post, vegans must have a deep-seeded (no pun intended) hatred of every non-animal living thing. because by eating them, they can’t possibly love them. you all must be incapable of loving trees, young shoots and sprouts, flowers, fungi, bacteria, etc. it’s inconsistent and ridiculous. we MUST love all of it, and yes, we MUST eat some of it.
