Animal Rights Poetry By Noël Sweeney

Time-bomb Heart

It's a beautiful day
Let's go out and destroy something

There' a blood-red sky kissed by a passing wispy cloud
Blood on the lips of the circling hungry vulture crowd
Death on the teeth of the unleashed invading hound
Blood in the bubble that traps her pleading crying voice
Death on the blade that destroys his future crushed choice
Blood on her forehead is the child's forever losing prize
Death on our hands after the first Kremlin bullet flies
Blood in the mind of the Russki's manufactured lies
Death on the tongue of Putin while he tries to paralyse
Blood on the sword of Islam serving to cannibalise
Death in the word of the Taliban seeking to terrorise
Matching the fear-filled light doused in freedom’s dying eyes

It's a beautiful day
Let's go out and murder truth
