“It is true that sometimes you want to take the food off other people’s plates. Let that sink in and then remember it’s okay. To know you’re part craven smuggler. Part thief. Maybe if you know your animal. I mean really know your animal. You won’t become a builder of factories or slave ships.

Best not to look away.” PoetryHurtPoemShameHumiliationObservingReflectingHurtingBad Intentions Author:Gabrielle Calvocoressi
