Elsewhere

Elsewhere


I sit in 
Silence
But I'm always aware
Of the sound of suffering
Elsewhere
I feel useless
I pray for us to
Show kindness 
To the
Smallest
In our care.

Rescue Haiku






They wait by the doors
You can turn their life around
But they will change yours

Ghost

Ghost

What have humans done?
That even animals can't be 
Animals
When they're your own creation
Or rather 
Alteration
Your food has a face
And it's as white as a ghost 
You took its colours away
For your gain.

Little hearts beat in alarm
Little lives form a death drum -
One after one after one
They drop off the spectrum
Of beings who feel
Because humans don't feel
It's a problem.
So the animals fear,
Understand,
While humans become numb.

Concentrated

Along a tightrope
Belonging
To a spiderweb of destruction
That could
Break
With
Any single footstep.
