Toilet

Bleached skin,
devoid of sun.
It is nothing
but a toothless maw
gumming, groping
for the digestive products.

It squats,
mouth open,
immobile,
It's single deformed arm
held out like a warning
to all who enter the lair.

The arm clanks down,
the warning ignored,
and it swallows
the precious waste
before
belching with gluttonous satisfaction.

It seems to find
glee in the consumption
of this most vile matter.
It seem to find
happiness in the exploitation
of our most noble race.
