you want me to un-filter what’s in my mind? to release all fears and troubles from their binds? to untether my darkest, deepest views? all for some vocal competition you choose?
.
beware what you wish for is solid advice, for I don’t think you are prepared to face your own vice-s? for my mind is not truly my own, it only mirrors what it has been shown
.
and y’all hate to see your true reflection, it’s easier to live with some twisted illusion, where you sleepwalk believing yourselves to be kind, and convince yourselves of your own goodness in your mind,
.
but you aren’t good, you are far from that tree, how can you really trick yourself to believe?! just because you are kind in one way, you think it negates the murder for which you pay
.
the slaughter and imprisonment of innocent creatures, aren’t on your list of most kind features,
.
Are they?
.
you chow down on chicken and slurp milk from cow tits, knowing that their babies were hacked into bits,
.
you crack foetus’s into pans and cook them fried, but that doesn’t make you even blink an eye,
.
Your inability to feel is the only thing that’s real
.
Your inability to heal is what makes pigs squeel
.
As their throats are cut and bullets fly to their heads
.
All while you sleep poorly in your beds,
.
Before waking to reach for the fridge you stocked,
.
Filled with the carcasses that you bought
.
But that’s no reflection on your goodness, surely? It’s not like you took a knife and killed them slowly…
.
The lies you tell yourself haunt me so
The world you create
is the hell that unfolds
And forces us all to toil within
The weight of your choices,
The weight of your sin.
.
We live on a dying planet in decaying bodies, we call aging ‘normal’ instead of a consequence of our folly’s
All of us were designed to be eternal
Self regenerating &
Healing as normal
But no.
That’s not what you choose.
You would rather just numb yourself with booze.
.
And stay blinded to who you actually are
A demon walking earth
Leaving deep wounds and scars
Upon everything precious and truly holy,
YOU are the evil
in front of me
You are the reason for all that I see
You are the reason for the fear in me
Your anger and hate
is the reason I wait
Day after day
In this prison
Your
Apathy and indifference
and lack of ability to share
keeps me living in despair
But you don’t care
Whether anything fair
Because you’re not good
When you are eating animals as food
.
Well vocal… you asked for this
You invited my consciousness
You took the risk
So eat this up as you consider the truth
See if you can swallow it down
This time
Or just push it back out of mind
And pretend all is fine
As you keep funding the murder of swine
Of cows
Of sheep
Of baby birds that cheep
So long as it tastes good on your fork
Why should you care to do the work
To change into a being of light
To care about anyone else’s plight?
No.

Really liked the introduction to this piece that you crafted in the first two lines! Great entry!
Wow....powerful words. "And stay blinded to who you actually are - a demon walking earth leaving deep wounds and scars". Amazing stream of consciousness.
Are they foetuses, or are they chicken periods? 🤔
This is so, so powerful. I really love the evolution of the structure - it shows how your mind is shifting from one thing to the next. This nearly brought tears to my eyes. Your words are so true - the horrible things mankind does to this Earth's precious creatures, and how much we've limited our own eternalness 🥹❤️
Well, they did ask for it!
My ex boyfriend used to say that he didn't do anything wrong because he ain't the one killing them. I just didn't know what to say, lol. Loved your poem!
I really wish I had put that last No in bold, rather than italics! But this is one I won’t go back to edit… Because it’s not meant to be edited 😇
