hanged up
torn down
its skin taken off
like an women
undressed
the soft flesh below
the medicinal value
betrays it of a life
the turtle
they cut open its soft shell
like how mom opens
her can of pork meat
the river fish
a hammer went down on its head
after the seller hauled
it out of a container
realm of terror
the earth a realm of terror
you could smell it in the air
the fishy smell of
the violation of rights
every inch of the way
a realm to be avoided
a realm to be avoided
i salute the buddha
inspired by
Boa Constrictor
Oh, I'm being eaten
By a boa constrictor,
A boa constrictor,
A boa constrictor,
I'm being eaten by a boa constrictor,
And I don't like it-one bit.
Well, what do you know?
It's nibblin' my toe.
Oh, gee,
It's up to my knee.
Oh my,
It's up to my thigh.
Oh, fiddle,
It's up to my middle.
Oh, heck,
It's up to my neck.
Oh, dread,
It's upmmmmmmmmmmffffffffff...
