<≪≪ In My Slaughter House

Rating: 5.0


In my slaughter house
I do not kill

Rather I spill pain
Into the purple shore where
A teen is raped

And count blood
Into the red sprinkle of rain when
A man is murdered

In my slaughter house
I do not cut

Rather I grow grass
Upon the wiles of greed

And graze the beast
Across the meadows of lies

in my slaughter house
I swear
i do not cut or kill

An interesting paradox of ideas, I slaughterhouse that you do not kill, but look at the toll of all human suffering. This really makes me think, about the nature of our world, and how we stand by and allow terrible things to exist. This needs to be read again and again, thank you for sharing
