Feed You

by Tainted Beauty   Apr 3, 2007


A dis configured smile
and big brown eyes,
A friend, soon slaughtered,
Tortured and confined.

Immasculated, tail copped
and ears torn.
It's acceptable,
This is why he was born.

Broken legs, heart attacks
Good thing this doesn't affect you.
His pain doesn't matter,
He'll be dead soon.

Prodding, electrocution
Hung by shackles to bleed
Just turn your head, it will go away
it's easier to ignore your friend in need.

Don't look him in the eye,
you might feel sympathy for the beast.
You might see the cruelty,
Then what of your feast?

Scalded and dismembered,
Conscious and still screaming,
Plunged, alive and struggling
Into the water, steaming.

These animals are crying,
Left for dead, lying
While you're still denying
They are dying,

To feed you.

    I liked the vocabulary you used in this poem, however you did not use them to the full potential. You basically wrote the word, without any support whatsoever. There was substance missing in this poem. They were just words, adjectives and verbs without a noun. I hope you understand that. Also, I noticed a few spelling mistakes as well. Edit the poem again, and I think you'll find them. Good job though, I understood the point you were making, it just wasn't very clear.

    Aw. This poem is so sad. But oh so very true! How awful!

    A dis configured smile [I'm not too sure that 'dis configured' is a word. Or the appropriate word, you may want to check that out. maybe use another word instead].

    slautered [should be slaughtered*]

    Immasculated [I think that should be 'Emasculated' , I don't think 'immasculated' is a word].

    The flow was a bit off/rocky in some places. But overall: I really liked it.

    This poem makes me shed a tear, yet also smile. It's truly disturbing what they do to animals, isn't it? I shed a tear because this is a sad poem. No animal deserves this. Not even to keep us humans alive. I smile because I am glad there is one more person out there who agrees with me. I do hope you back up this poem by being a vegetarian. :]
