Silently I Scream

 

I

never stopped

loving animals

I have always seen them

as humans

forget to see

 

If humans forget to see

that behind the walls

of farms

factories

– genocide factories

millions

billions

countless

individuals

individuals

like humans

 

They forget

to see

 

If humans forget to see

that behind the walls

aweful lots of

Pain

Pain

Pain

open wounds

maddening boredom

cutting

shredding

slaughtering

gassing

killing

slashing

sawing

blood

fear

stench

Pain

 

The animals

They scream

But no one hears them

and no one sees

their tears

because animals cannot cry

 

I do it for them

I suffer

from the agony

they go through

And no one sees

No one cares

 

Silently I scream

Look then

See it

Dare

to see

What you do

What you fail to do
