An Animal Rights Poem from All-Creatures.org

 

 


Just Like Us
Submitted Anonymously to All-Creatures

Just like us;
Bones, flesh, nerves;
Just like us

Though to us;
They are merely machines

Just like us;
Joy, sadness, pain;
Just like us

Though to us;
They are empty of emotion;
Near empty in brain

Just like us;
Tears, sweat, blood;
Just like us

Though to us;
Their blood is just juice to be drained

Just like us;
Mothers, children, siblings;
Just like us

Though to us they deserve but one name;
Meat;
Just... meat
