SLAUGHTERHOUSES + SUNDAY DINNERS
I want to save everything!!
That's the truth of it all...
Stop the suffering!
Save the roof!
Cut off my ears I can't bear it
at all !!!!
There are tears on the mirror
glass
Running in rivers
Rippling the room
Melting my face
Hissing of doom...
Pooling on floors
Running down walls
Tears awash with the
squeaks cries and calls...
I want to save everything !!
Thats the truth of it all...
Cut out my heart !!
I can't bear it at all !!!...
I want to save everything!!
Quick!!.. before it's too late...
Before it reaches the roof...
Before I drown in their fate...
There are rivers on the mirror
glass...
Running in tears
Rippling the room
Drowning my soul
Babtising the fear...
I must stop it from rising
I must rise to the call
Before it reaches the roof
Before the gods drown us all
I want to save everything!!!
That's the truth of it all...
But I can't even swim, I've no
power at all...
There are tears on the mirror
glass...
Rippling the faces
Bleeding the walls
There are screams on the
floor
I can't bear it
At all...

I love empathy ! lessons and agency are hard to watch! Awash with feeling, enjoyed! I have empathy for all things as well, That is my take here and hope you can cope!. This is where I have to leave it in the hands of my maker. Thanks for starting the conversation Marion!
Hi Jim, no I can't cope, it destroys me on a daily basis. I spent many years fighting online ( and the odd protest) against the dog/cat meat trade in Asia, my Facebook page is dedicated to it. I've not been on for about 18 months now, I became seriously unwell and cannot yet find the strength to face the realities again. That led me into awareness of everything else. I gave up meat. I hate mankind ...there is nothing else to say. Nice to meet a like minded soul...sorry to ramble...lol...💕
PS...thankyou 😊
Leaving it in the hands of my maker, does not mean I don't protest and try to end it, it just means I drop the hate and try to use good examples and incentives to stop the abuse. By the way I think the pic is of a dairy cow, which are taken care of. All the best! your friend,Jim
No they aren't Jim..they are impregnated continually and have their calves snatched from them so we can buy their milk in Tesco...the photo is just a picture of a cow...not meant to represent anything other than the image of a cow...lol...
You have inspired my next poem Jim...thankyou 🤗
There are some terrible things in life, the worst of which are by the hand of Man. Knowing of atrocities that take place and feeling powerless to stop them will overwhelm the caring soul who tries so hard to fight the cruelty in this world. So much so that they could, indeed, drown in their own tears. A heartfelt write. Hugs x
Hi Tina..you know, I used to scoff at that saying, 'don't worry about going to hell, you are already there'...I now believe it to be a universal truth...thanks love 💕
Awwwww we used to have sheep and cattle but since foot and mouth we diversed to a holiday park but I like mear and fish, tho pinned for your poetic perfection my lovely ❤️💕❤️
Must be brilliant having a holiday park Jill...wow...thanks love 💕

Oh god...yes...you must be so.affected by all this virus thing then Jill. Bloody hell, you would be really impacted as a holiday park!! Oh love, I hope you will manage to get through it all ok...financially I mean...also who knows maybe in a few years me and my family might book a holiday at yours...we can have that cuppa then 🤩🤩🤩💕
Bloody hell Id luv to see you at my doorstep luv ay wev lost alot but hey ho long as we stay alive... tis all that matters my lovely lady ❤️❤️❤️
Wow Marion so cleverly put in verse the horrid ness of it all. I totally agree. I've been a vegetarian for well over 20 years and the idea of eating a dead animal sounds disgusting but even more so the cruelty that is inflicted on animals and then killing them. Isnt that murder only it's not humans?!
You really opened up alot of thoughts on this one for us poets on here. Good to see you making a stand and I'm with you. Px💜
Are You?? That's a joy to know Prathiba. It's only been ten years for me ...it is one of my regrets I did not become enlightened sooner love. They even crush the baby male chicks while mass producing eggs...no use to the industry!!!..we are a species of devils!!! I have actually written loads on this subject, especially about the torture in the dog/cat meat trade in Asia. I have posted some on here but most people would rather not read...sadly...
it is literally too barbaric to digest, the torture and suffering enormous. Thankyou so much love 💞
