OUR WORLD
OUR WORLD
We live in a world where starved dogs
are left out in the blazing summer sun
wearing brutal heavy collars attached
to chains fit for a logging truck.
We live in a world where pickup trucks
plow through flocks of geese to **** them
and go nonchalantly on their way.
We live in a world where animals
are are bred to fight for fun and wagers
and losers are killed in grisly ways
We live in a world where industry
can lie for years while savaging
the ecosystem and pocketing the dollars.
We live in a world where it’s OK
to torture and then butcher creatures
in the name of research science.
We live in a world where six black robes
can force a young woman to bear a child
she doesn’t want and cannot feed
then scorn her for needing welfare.
We live in a world where far too many
want to rule as ****** did
and see no moral hindrance.
We live in a world where supposed truth
comes in countless clever guises
and far too many of them are false.

I could have gone on and on.
