The Practitioners of Beasty-ality

A Poem by Easter3
"

Oh, the Almighty Beast Within !

"

Oh, that Beast within

The Almighty Me-Beast

That Practitioner of Beasty-ality

The Beast that Howls and Roars

Me ! Me ! Me !

Just Me ! And only Me !

The Almighty Me-Beast of Beasty-ality

Oh, that Beast within

Who when sniffing out the alluring fumes of Power

Of Self-Aggrandizement

Creates the Golden-Green Pyramids of Trickle Down

And keep ‘em down

Down ! Down ! Down !

Keep ‘em bowing and crawling on the ground

To the multitude of Worldly Idols built to ItSelf

Imaging, Imagining, Digitizing, Binarily Fissioning

The various intricacies, versions and per-versions of ItSelf

The Almighty Me-Beast

That Practitioner of Beasty-ality

Oh, that Beast within

That Almighty Me-Beast

The Practitioner of Beasty-ality

That Devours and crunches down

Upon Human Beings who Stand in its Way

Upon Human Beings it Sees as measly Needy Creatures

Upon Human Beings it deems as Poor, as Dis-abled,

As easily Dis-criminated against, as easily Bullied

Upon Human Beings it Sniffs Out as Being Eco-Freaks, as Tree Huggers,

As Planet Savers, as Animal Lovers, as Humanitarians, as Different

Oh, that Beast within

The Almighty Me-Beast

That Practitioner of Beasty-ality

Feeds on all the Sheeple/People of the World

Longs to make them Fearfully bleat

Will do everything It can to broaden and exascerbate

Their suffering and misery

Because All Almighty Me-Beasts

Stay ravenous for Power and Money

And For-Profit-Prisons

And For-Profit-War

And For-Profit-Politicians

And For-Profit-Courts

And For-Profit-Religions

And For-Profit-Corporations

And For-Profit-Banks

And For-Profit-Education

And For-Profit-Research

And For-Profit-Guns-and-Bullets

And For-Profit-Rockets-and-Missiles

And For-Profit-Nukes

And For-Profit-Mobile-Microwave-and-Laser-Cannons

And All other Forms of For-Profit-Chicaneries

That in the End Truly Profiteth Not

Are what temporarily put the Almighty Me-Beast’s

Perpetually empty Tummy as ease

Oh, the Beast within

The Almighty Me-Beast

That Practitioner of Beasty-ality

Will Smile with glinting, dripping Fang

And feel no remorse, no pain

While slowly and mercilessly tearing

Any and Every Human Being to shreds and Devouring

Each Human Being’s puny little and be-littled

Dreams and Things that they Believe in

If a Human Being dares to

Get in the Way of the Almighty Me-Beast’s

Avaricious Ambitions and Power-Mongering Imaginings

Oh, the Beast within

The Almighty Me-Beast

That Practitioner of Beasty-ality

Will Thoughtlessly and Carelessly

OverRun and Destroy the World

With slums, and genocides, and pesticides

And oil spills, and tar sand toxins, and carbon emissions

And maintaining low wages while OverCharging

For Food, Clothing, Shelter, HealthCare and Transportation

And dis-mantling Public Education, Voting Rights,

Women’s Rights, Minorities Rights

And Societal Social Safety Nets

Because the Almighty Me-Beasts prefer

Sheeple/People as Slaves and Lackeys

Drug ‘em up til they’re Pharmaceutically Cracky-Wacky

Then load ‘em up and move ’em out

On Trains running on disappearing Trackies

Oh, the Beast within

The Almighty Me-Beast

That Practitioner of Beasty-ality

Will convince Human Beings to BeCome Human Bombs

Or Human War Weapons

In the name of some Almighty Me-Beast’s

Version or per-version of some

Universal Abstract ideal

Or Heavenly Cosmic Location in Space

When the bottom line is

That the Human Being is nothing more

Than Expendable, Fleshy weaponized parts

Fed to the Almighty Me-Beasts grumbling belly

To BeCome extricated excrement

For the Almighty Me-Beasts

To spit upon, tread upon,

Make Money on

Siphon Energetic Power from

Shrug their hairy shoulders and shake their slobbering jowls at

Rub their Claw-Paws satisfactorily together over

And Howl, “That’s that ! On to the next Meal

And Winner Takes All Deal !”

Yes, that Beast within

The Almighty Me-Beast

That Practitioner of Beasty-ality

Lies-in-wait WithIn us All

What will it take to cathartically ignite

Or awaken Your Me-Beast ?

What will You Choose to do when its Call for You ?

Run and hide ?

Send it back into the Darker Side of Yourself ?

Or Jump in Howling lustfully and lustily

For Your First Prey

Your First Kill ?

Your First Bloody, Beastly Meal ?

Trick is that the more you Feed the Almighty Me-Beast WithIn

The less of a Human Being WithIn you have left

Yes, we’re all Human Beings in the Making or Breaking

All Carriers of the Almighty Me-Bests Within

All Skin-Walkers and Talkers

All possible Practitioners of Beasty-ality

What Stands in betwixt-and-between

BeComing a Me-Beast or BeComing a Human Being ?

Choices Made or Broken Along the Way
