Disgust

...is a pig's skin covered in the filth of the road
smelling like a ball of rotten, spoilt perishables
flapping around shamelessly, remorselessly,
littering every single clean spot on its way.

...is gait, small steps, speed, earnestness,
fake in the the circuitous air,
that spins out shit and spins in normalcy for a long time
till deception dies of old age...

Yeah...disgust is that pig's real, bare, unwashed self!

  1. I love this label, Humanimals

    I can read human in place of pig everywhere here.. You know i don't think a pig would be a pig, if it is kept in a congenial environment, it's only because it is exposed to raw nature, it became a "Pig" that we call it as...

    Fact" Human and Pig anatomy surprisingly are 98% similar.. we both have same gene codes! So many parallels :D

  2. Turning and turning in the widening gyre
    The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
    Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
    Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
    The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
    The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
    The best lack all conviction, while the worst
    Are full of passionate intensity

    Yeats... Last line!
