Hello Barbara,
Not sure about whether theological aspects appeal to me. But still the first stanza suggests that next you will be talking about things that are out of tune.

I am not sure what the second stanza is doing.
Do you really need to use a vomit metaphor?

Barbara Writes

The first stanza hints my lifestyle in tune with nature and the creator which ties in with the second stanza eat natural as vegetarian and vegan. Maybe I need to inculcate vegan message in their somehow. As for third stanza it sums up the previous two stanza in a way that denotes if i continue to eat the animals thus supporting their destruction the nature and its creator will vomit me out for lack of a better term. Any suggestions?

I work on it some to convey it better if it makes sense to you

(Vegetarian and vegan) I’m a newbie. I’ve been doing good since the total eclipse I
August last year. Goal is to gradually attain vegan status only.
