HELL falls like pearls from Tiffany's
furs hung with care in Macy's windows,
faux dressing for the rich
who can not bare their own skin...
~And his cries chill the warm breeze of night
falling on moisten fear and mother's ears.
As a child screams, blood rain soaks society
innocent soul ascends into angels embrace
greed eats away blinded humanity,
~his young life, for the price of ivory.
Author notes
"Never believe that animals suffer less than humans.
Pain is the same for them that it is for us.
Even worse, because they cannot help themselves."
Dr. Louis J. Camuti

It needs to be stopped!! Amazing write and so true of society and yes pets feel the same pain we do, we just can't hear their cries.

This moved me to tears, because it is all too true, in so many horrible ways.
"As a child screams, blood rain soaks society
as innocent soul ascends into angels embrace
greed eats away blinded humanity,
~his young life, for the price of ivory."
When will humanity realize that the fate of the animals is also our fate. We are all connected - and the karma will eat us alive as;
(your painfully truthful words state)-
"blood rain soaks society"
"blood rain soaks society"
each and every day. The problem is that only the more intuned of us feel it, and it is sucking the very life and soul out of us. Eventually, there will be no human soul left among us! That is the price we will pay for the greed and cruelty.

This is a powerful spoken word piece. I would love to hear you read it. Your imagery is vivid and your poetry connects the divine in man with the divine in the slain animals man so heartlessly destroys.
Thanks so much for your entry in Debilynn's honor.

very powerful
It spoke to me of the loss of innocents and the dying of the young soul as they become grown beyond their years due to life's experiences. Thank you for this powerfully, creative, and masterful piece.

to be honest, i'm not really sure i agree with what the poem is saying... is skinning children instead of animals really the way forward??
1. the skin is poorer quality.
2. less children=less coats.
3. well i can't think of another reason,
i say the solution would be to develop an animal that either didnt feel pain, or liked been skinned.
but that is years away. -
awesome write
This poem was indeed mind blowing as was its' scope.
-
That was very sad, and amazing all at once. I loved it.
-
wow, that's brilliant,
-
thax for ur time
-
it was great you awesom
-
You have forcibly reconnected the carefully divorced supple beauty displayed in fashionable windows from the lifeblood and soul that were born into them.
We bountifully blessed humans have difficulty distinguishing between needs and wants, and seem hardly to try. We are degenerating into a culture where anything and everything is acceptable, and available at a price. Line 6, possibly "moist fear"?
Intensely written. Congrats on the trophy.
-
your words...
weep with compassion as always...
yet, this write is more intense and so darkly penetrating to the conscious...and conscience...
superb on every level...
this is stellar!
thank you for sharing your time and talent with me!
Blessings! Tammy

wow...and you wrote this exquisite piece so quickly...I’m impressed and so true to life we see such human blunders...food for sustaining life is one thing...but vanity at the expense of creatures that live side by side with us...is and outrage...love the piece....excellent!
