Beneath this skin; I am not human I shed this flesh In the name of shame I shed this species In the name of respect For every life We have taken from this earth We are all butchers; plague bearers The separation of man and beast Butchers We are worth nothing We are owed nothing We have learnt nothing The dawn of man bore Witness to this end Silent faces turn callously away In these eyes; sentience is rife A cry; a smile – emotion we deny Liars We are worth nothing We are owed nothing We have learnt nothing Born unto the hands of man Divide in death their skin and bone Throats slit bodies fall numb This atrocity must come undone A vegan species forced flesh into its maw Suffocated on the blood of the dead and wanted more Eyes outgrew stomachs, bloated with greed Carnivore only in name, without the need Human kind is a hypocrisy, Compassion quashed with unhealthy need Tell yourself you can stomach their death Your words cast out on their dying breath And all i can say is that i am sorry for what we have done
