Golden Arches

Golden Arches

They’re there, unmistakable.

Between burning tarmac

and burning sky.

The happy-daffodil yellow

seared into our cities.

Don’t worry, children,

You’ll never have to kill

for your next meal;

we already did it for you.

Though the fluorescents burn harshly,

And the meat burns cruelty,

And we burn our dollars,

For a fast feast

of oils and additives

and slaughtered integrity

to fuel our gorged existence.

And nothing asks why

like those golden arches.

Ignorance and insincerity,

Enshrined.


Maccas made me vegetarian.
