On Moses Fifth Commandment

 Moses fifth commandment most people try to obey
At least this is how it does seem anyway
But does Moses fifth commandment to killing and eating by humans of other life forms also apply
Since it does not specifically apply to humans only one must wonder why?
Vegans and vegetarians observe the fifth commandment but their sort of people are rare
This is only saying of what most of would be aware
But does 'thou shalt not kill' apply to people for killing of people only who is to say
Or does it apply to the killing of all life forms by people it very well may
I too am a meat and fish eater in that i eat the creatures others do kill
Of creatures that never have harmed me i do eat my fill
Perhaps i break Moses fifth commandment every day
Of this i do wonder in truth i can say
And i too like most other mortals is one not free of taint
But then in the World is there one living saint?
