REALITY (DOG/CAT MEAT TRADE)

Oh my god
I have just seen
A dogmeat truck on my
mobile screen
It's cargo
Live dogs
Cats there too
All terrified
All suffering through
Close up now
Unfolding scene
Dogs cats squashed in
So cruel so mean
I feel the terror
See hopeless eyes
Smell
Piss
Shit
Fear
See the gathering flies
Where one soul ends 
And one begins
I cannot say
A sight so grim
Camera close up
Fur, paws, tails
Entangled limbs
All stuck in jail
Panic now
This stream is live
Poor sad dogs
All going to die
Engine starting
On its way
No hope now
Torture
Death
Today
Stream cuts dead
Last tearful stare
I cannot save them
I am not there.
