The deck runs red with blood
Of those that moments before were free
Now lying there, struggling in the grasp
Of one who will take by force
Life's treasure and last breath.
Plunging deep into the belly
Of the victim, the gory knife
Rips the flesh and slices through
The virginal tissue, never penetrated before
All in lust for this body's store.
Fingers dig deep within
As the victim struggles in pain
Grasping the ovary's sac
Tearing it away in a wanton attack
To yield the golden treasure within.
Done, the body, not yet dead
Is tossed overboard to waiting prey
And the bloody stew, sloshes back and fro
While the treasured golden roe
Into the waiting ice bucket go.
This is a crime against both female and male alike
But the male's white roe in its sac has no value, so
There is no reason to save this thumb sized virginal roe
And fish and sac go over board unwanted
To the depths below.
