Panchito‘s Diary

Im sad

so I go get some good food

now im full and sad

but im very thankful for the hands that made that food

for the hands that planted, harvested and stir fried those vegetables.

But I feel bad because I also consumed a part of an animal.

and I see myself in that

I empathise not only with their suffering but their whole existence

Born to be consumed, just like me, just like u

but I keep on chewing

cuz im hungry

cuz im sad

now im a fool and sad

I consumed not only an animal but the life and time of all of those people

exploited just to serve me some food when im sad

vietnam or ecuador

a jungle or a farm

it does not matter

as long as it tastes good and fills ur belly.

now im angry

cuz I dont want to be consumed and dont want to consume anybody

I want to share

but the food is spicy, too much sriracha

still delicious tho

ill finish my plate today

and tomorrow ill try to finish this vicious cycle

ill keep on eating and crying

wondering if they forgot the cilantro.
