It’s clear
You don’t care
About people
Still dying
So maybe it’s time
You heard
Animals
Crying
And feel what it’s like
To be trapped in a cage
Pacing back and forth
Back and forth
Listless all day
It’s not natural
Not normal
Not instinct
Not real
It’s like no one else  
Ever
Explained
What they feel
Enough for you
To know
I don’t want to be food
But I also don’t want
To be rude
Telling you
That it’s time to bequeath
That full plate
Full of meat
And stop eating these animals
Clearly replete
With a bevy
Of unhealthy
Parasite
Viruses
Lost in the
No weapons prosper
Against me
My weapon of choice
Is the time race
Commencing  
My voice to say anything
It ever dreamed
Even if
It’s extreme
And no one else
Believes
It could ever be real
I don’t either
Just know
What I feel
