Her kindness
was never
questioned
everyone praised
her love for
her students
her gentle
nurturing
evident for
weeks and weeks
until her students’
bellies began
pushing against
the buttons
of their clothes
properly fattened
on the feed she
provided
She gave them each
one final hug
as she turned
on the blades
and lowered
them inside
The screams echoed,
the tears fell,
the blood spilled
But it was,
after all,
only one bad day
in the lives
she had provided
for them
and how she
loved them
during their
brief time
on Earth
She is proud
of the food she made
for others to enjoy
the people were hungry
for the tender flesh
that fell from their bones
and were willing
to call the process
love
while opening
their mouths and
turning their eyes
away
