Barbary Turnpike

It’s not a long journey,

Down the rocky road to barbarism,

And we may all one day savour,

This brand of extreme tourism.

Take any direction you may favour,

Or remain right where you are!

For from our sleek world, so repleat,

With our arrogance and our conceit,

To the globe, bloodstained and brutal,

The world of our all ancestor, the cannibal.

The journey is just a matter of time,

Three days, or nine meals!
