Derelict Earth - Screams of the Speechless

Pay heed to the deafening screams of the speechless,
Enduring sufferings that no words can express,
Their ordeals are concealed, preventing compassion
From their captivity to their execution...

Victims of an ignored miscarriage of justice,
All forms of sentience denied in their ghastly cages,
Testimony of their torturer's cowardice,
Reminding their convenient lack of languages.

Like crops they are mercilessly harvested and wasted,
Their bodies desecrated to fatten the masses,
Their entrails ground for their siblings to have once tasted,
What made them deserve a lifetime in feces.

Left in agony, flayed, bleeding slowly to death,
Their precious skins ripped off, garments for the conceited,
Fur worn as ostentatious exhibits of wealth,
Still dripping, stained by clotted blood from the vivisected.

We share responsibility for these crimes,
Conniving unconcerned, like cogs in a machine,
Rejecting the blame in hypocrisy obscene,
With the same arguments used a thousand times:
Inferior beings, born for our needs, lacking feelings,
Everything was done to avoid sufferings...

Lies !

Their limbs torn apart while their innards are pulled out,
Productiveness made the highest priority,
Suspended terrorized, remaining conscious throughout,
Carved alive by slaughterers in stolidity.

Violently herded down a death row, reeking of fear,
Crying for a mercy that will never be given,
As in pools of blood no one will notice a tear,
Diverted towards the duty to feed the craven.

A bewildered beast surrounded by a gathering,
Frolicking, singing the praises of a coward,
Pitted against a cripple having no chance of winning:
Abhorrent spectacle of an eunuch empowered...
Entertained by a summary execution,
Why should the society's dregs be granted salvation?
