In dreams,
that’s when I see them burning,
rushed from hiding
All tied by invisible strings
Those lost souls
hanging from the sky
Shrouded by flames,
red and bright orange
lick skin off bones
I think to myself;
they’ve been dead a long time
The sun’s out, another day
I don’t notice if anyone’s watching,
it’s the screams that answer
Tears leak as desperation floods my veins
Cornered, I’m wounded, trapped
Because I know, finally
It’s time,
we pay at the end
No matter how abused, broken
we’ll pay the price
for the animals we’ve become
