the beast is stirring

ours is a culture which contends that
we're the big kahuna's chosen ones
and so this night we shall feast upon
another savaged blood-drained carcass

not in gratitude, sacred ritual or rite
in fact, not any sort of celebration at all
but because we got a cut-rate deal
on a fresh cut shank of dripping flesh

of course this is divinely sanctioned
by our holiest of ancient sacred texts
not to mention that it's certified grade A
by various official government decrees

the beast within is stirring as she smells
a pride of human-apes out on the prowl
no amount of cultured civilized veneer can
fool our primal creature's keen awareness

she knows what she has always seen as so
her fellows are equipped with fangs and claws
and could turn as one against her on a dime
at any hint of danger to survival of the pack
