he seeks his answers elsewhere
a border crossing into brazil
where the rainforest has been murdered
to farm meat that they can kill
many hours many miles
to understand the plight
all he see's is hooves and dust
it's not a welcoming sight
he stays with a family
to see the life they live
an uneducated cattle baron
and his instincts that would give
food for his family
forever and a day
methane over oxygen
there is no other way
he's shared the ways of cattle
he's tasted his own knifes blood
he's asked the questions to understand
how deep is this mud
he seeks reasoning
from the baron
and realises what he already knew
survival instincts pave the way
what else was there to do.........
