Evilness of Humankind


If I would have known

I would have stopped long ago

If only I was shown

The true horror occurring in the shadow

 

As I sit here in my home

I think of what i’ve been taught

That humans sit on the throne

But what a false thought

 

The thought of it makes me sick

That humans kill for no reason

When nature provides alternatives to pick

That regrow every season

 

Mothers are held in chains

Babies are murdered

Starving people are taken their grains

So industries are furthered

 

People are fools

Believing labels slapped on a box

There are no tools

To humanely slaughter something that squawks

 

Whether its worn or consumed

There was torture in the process

The future of mankind is doomed

All for a leather dress

 

Puppies and kittens have different notions

But a cow and a chicken are a living being

Who also raise children and have emotions

Yet one is butchered while hanging by a string

 

No longer do I buy the corpse of an animal

And contribute to the abuse

To many these views are not understandable

That some only eat plant produce

 

One person at a time

The world is changed

Getting rid of the murderous crime

That is completely deranged
