Animal testing


There you lie Infected and bleeding There you dream Of a life without suffering A life without pain A big white rubber hand reaches in You’re hoping it’s over Hoping it is taking you to freedom But you are put in a smaller cage Restrained by chains You fight and kick You scream, “NO! NO MORE INJECTIONS!” They hear you, But don’t understand The needle pierces through your muscles It makes you shriek in pain But still; They do not understand The people outside do not See, hear or feel Your pain, The agony you go through Endless day after endless day Just so their lips look plumper Their skin a shade darker Their hair a bit shinier But what they don’t see What they don’t see Is you, Your blind infected eyes Your red, raw and furless skin Your broken and useless legs No, they don’t See, hear, or feel Your pain All they want, All they care about, Is the beauty of themselves. STOP COSMETIC ANIMAL TESTING.
