It lay there
Slimy
Distorted
It was not human
Yet in a sense it was
Hands visible
Stems stretched out beneath its hands
Human or animal
Known or unknown
Whatever it was
It just lay there
Eyes shut
Fetal position
Darkness seems to be its home
Darkenss seems to be preferred
What heinous act brough about this being
What distorted mind created this
Mans battle and eagerness to win over science
That is the act through which it was birthed
What would become of it
Rejection
Freak show
Hundreds of unknown faces staring
And finally death
Death by its own
Death the only way to escape

This is a great piece! I felt as if it needed a bit more elaboration. Unfortunately, you did not place the words used in your AN per the rules so I cannot place you in the finalist list. I do hope that you might consider entering another one of my contests in the future

Wow, this is soo sad! I had recently read an article of the atrocities of unethical experiments and the poor victims of of these, animals and humans and who not! It's so sad and hurting to realize how horrible and disgraceful man is!! This piece is really good and amazingly penned to feel the sadness of those poor victims. Great work!!!
