Engorged with Humiliation

Frozen lifeless bodies, scattered on the street

Horrifying facial expressions petrified in the ice

People suffering from malnutrition

Reality of war leaves them nothing

Some would collect them to take them home

To hack up, cook and eat them

Hastily dragging the carrion so stiff and cold

To their houses, to prepare the morbid feast

In desperate attempts to bite off chunks from the body

Weakened teeth would break from icy solidity

Putting heat to the the carcass

To make flesh tender

Thawing body fluids

Revealing a stench sense-numbing

Biting into half frozen meat

Trying to ignore the horrid taste

Hunger over revulsion

Willpower tested

Wretched corpses lying in the snow

Over a period of 2 weeks

One by one they disappear

Unquestioned
