Tiny Deaths
No one weeps for the souls of the thousands
of tiny little deaths that happen every day.
One can murder a hundred invertebrate spirits,
snuff the life right out of them.
There is no IACAUC approval needed.
Not a single tear is shed.
People go on unnoticing of the suffering,
wearing blinders to all but their own perceived pain.
Who will give voice to the tiny deaths?
Who will stop and say, ENOUGH!
Who will weep for the passing of the seemingly insignificant?
Who can hear their silent screams?
What justice is there in heaven or earth to give succor
to their suffering souls?
When will the madness end?
of tiny little deaths that happen every day.
