Animal or Vegetable?

[tectak]

OK. Here goes. Forgive my little ending ditty. This is serious.
Now that youve seen it I have deleted it!

Some vegans vomit fiddleheads Good opener and veracious to boot.Have tried. Emetically poetic or vice versa
emphatically brandishing emphasing what, I wonder. Not sure about word choice here. There must be a better descriptor
their coiled lime fists;
often sparring to uppercut
the masticating omnivores
of domesticated fowl
and beast. Clever but over-wordy and of very uncertain meaning. Omnivore covers the range of comestibles and includes vegetables...so carnivores?

I must confess,
I do eat meat,
like my fellow Hominids,
as my ancient ancestors did. "fellow" and "ancient" are meter-gas...as you are not a cartoon octopus.
I’ve no gun or zeal to hunt; Why is "I have no gun, nor zeal to hunt" better?
I don’t paint still life
on butcher blocks. ...or perhaps it is not. I just CANNOT get a lock on your meter.
I render our earth, both flora and fauna,
on cotton rag in watercolor,
not calfskin vellum
with sable brushes. I am tempted to say well bully for you. I kind of like the blank certainty of conviction in this stanza but it does sound holier than thou...intentional?

Being human
affords us choice
in committing those acts
that humans do.
Some pointing fingers
have murdered still,
albeit a human fetus
or two. Look, I have some concept of what you are trying to squeeze out of this lemon but I just don't think you make a case without leather. It's the inference in the argument that fails to convince...human bad, animals good as a carrot. This last stanza contains the cynical seed of the commitment tree. I think it stands alone. I would not care if you dropped all the prior posturing.

So chris, I came out of my comfort zone with this one. I don't normally care (enough) to comment on "the message" but this has little else. Last stanza only for me.
