See Me!
Sympathy! Sympathy!
Spared for those resembling thee
Blind to trauma you won’t see
Hungry for the death of me
Empathy! Empathy!
Grievous human fallacy
Torn from nature where to flee
From the slaughter to be
What manner of fiend
Alien and feeble
Yet maliciously clever, corrals us?
Enveloped in darkness
Rusted stench of slaughter
Offal’s faecal taint grown thick
Into prospects turned feeble
Wherein death corrals
Life wasted in anticipation of slaughter
Ended in unwept groans
Blasphemous geometry drafts us singularly
Roused panic
Fleeing dread
Goaded to your end
Unhinging panic resounded through pain filled cries
Declaimed from the impervious face
Tolling our fate
On despairing instinct herded through the gloom
Following our kin to disaster
Abrasive stone surrenders in shortened tunnel
Abominable surface slick with filth
In the shade of cruelty’s gloom
Courting our disaster
Liberty irrevocably shortened
Ethics compromised, mired in filth
Echoing into silence
Railing pleas of the fallen
Gaping weight of the slain
Dark presage of slaughter
Stench of blood
Taste of fear
Hot with terror’s cold death
Dressed to feed
Bred in shame
Glut with grief’s final breath
Enthralled by our appetite
Embodying what we have consumed
Empathy’s wan effulgence splutters
In resemblances’ narrow spectrum
Yet you alone imagine
You stand without nature
Sentience limited to reason
Life become a commodity
Industrialised killing satisfies gluttony
Unfettered malice of the hungry ghost
