Dark and Evil Days
Why do we humans feel that
we have the right to
disregard all other beings
and do whatever we want to do?
Do we really think our vanity
is worth their suffering?
Is a slight increase in confidence
worth all the pain that it will bring?
Using all these products
meant to make us beautiful
to cause such terrible agony
is something unforgivable.
Injecting medications
meant to benefit humans
into defenseless bodies
so very different from our own.
We’ve known for many decades
that this cannot be accurate.
Stopping all this torture
would be for everyone’s benefit.
Creating such conditions
to cause depression and hopelessness
just to study their reactions
and see if they apply to us.
What could it possibly have been
that made us believe that
tormenting other creatures
would help us understand ourselves?
How can we continue
to inflict so much pain on
such kind and loving creatures
and not see that it’s wrong?
I hope that soon we’ll realize
the error of our ways
and at last we’ll bring an end to
these dark and evil days.
