Do you hear that silent cry for help?
Do you feel the punches, the harsh objects,
On their innocent skin?
I am more than a genetically modified organismThat was constructed for scientific research.
I'm all alone on this rainy, cold and empty street.
Where have you gone?
Do you still care about me?
Look i see a light on!
I'm limping up to the door hoping to find you there.
Humans are so fragile
They must be taken care of.

Who squeals for mercy
But instead is stunned and skinned
But no, it couldn’t be them

Or maybe it’s the young women
Perhaps it belongs to an animal
Who squeals for mercy
But instead is stunned and skinned
But no, it couldn’t be them
Because there’s no blood once it’s been rinsed away
Or maybe it’s the young women
I've yet to see the light of day.
"Animals don't feel", they always say.
I grew up, not loved and overfed.
Just so my meat can be placed between two slices of bread.
What did I do to deserve this,
Everyday I eat your flesh
I dress in your skin
I see you cry for help
But you are just an object
You satisfy my thirst
I ignore your suffering
The way you are treated

You don’t know
Do you
What it’s like
Not to be loved
Not to have
What you
Take for granted:
A home.
What do you
Know about
Hunger and
Pain and
The job that would change my life is becoming a Veterinarian. I want to help animals and care for them. Ever since I was at the age of 9 and I got my first puppy for Christmas I knew I loved animals and wanted to help them in any way I can.
What have I done?
Why do you beat me?
Why won't you answer me when I cry throughout the night?
These questions are running through their heads
What wrong have they done?
They just want your love
I look in your eyes and what do i see?
I see my reflection and you abusing me
Why do you do this?
Have I not shown you love?
How do i deserve this?
What have i done wrong?
Why is it that we assume that only humans are destined for greatness,
That only we are allowed to live freely and love freely
how could you hurt
something so defenseless
how could you not love
something so innocent

food should be healthy
We need to recall our food

our kids won't live longer than
this generation
heart disease, cancer

I watched as he threw her onto a truck.
I watched as the stranger beat my father with a rod.
I watched as they threw him onto a truck.
i bring home a warm soul
a bouncing tail
a warm tongue
what a gift
its nature is wild
it runs with delight
happy panting
what a gift
it misbehaves
Pigs, chickens, cows, and goats.
Products on my shelf.
Unable to speak as I rip off thier coats.
Your genetically modified existence
Can barely stand upright.
Your beak is absent,
Your feathers are fake,
Your wings don't work.
You are not a life,
I lift my ears, lift my eyes
Look up to the cloudy sky
Rain falls, soaking me
people hold their noses
Why can't someone embrace me
For who I am
For who I will be
I want to help
I lift my ears, lift my eyes
Look up to the cloudy sky
Rain falls, soaking me
people hold their noses
Why can't someone embrace me
For who I am
For who I will be
I want to help
We have feelings too, sir.
I'm sorry for whatever I did.
I promise, it won't happen again, sir.
Why must you do this to a being much less powerful than you.
I limp, I bleed, I cry, because of you, sir.
Does it make you feel strong or are you just incapable
Of putting yourself in someone else’s position?
Do you feel big and bad when innocence squirms?
When you force pure love into submission?

You picked me up and saved me.
Why?
Why did you want a friend?
To make another creature feel miserable
With my neck in the collar
and the collar to the leash,
I have nothing to live for,
except eating loose meat.
I once had a mother,
she understood me,
Now I have nothing
I miss fighting with you to see your 'I told you so smile" I know I wont see it for awhile I miss the look in your eye when you know what you're doing You always do whatever you want to
