Seen
For you who suffer behind wallsWe will be your windowsOn bricks we'll hold up squares of youReflections from the shadows Outside, outside demands you, yetOutside you'll never seeWe will face outside for youYour faces will be seen.

What have humans done?That even animals can't be AnimalsWhen they're your own creationOr rather AlterationYour food has a faceAnd it's as white as a ghost You took its colours awayFor your gain.

Beings
Beings
They're frightened.Little hearts beat in alarmLittle lives form a death drum -One after one after oneThey drop off the spectrumOf beings who feelBecause humans don't feelIt's a problem.So the animals fear,Understand,While humans become numb.

Species
Species
In your eyes I see all eyes Held in different shapes Who feel the same As you do Destined for other fates For what reason? There is no reason To distinguish heart from heart To share a home With one Should pardon The whole And not the part.

Reading
I am stuck insideI look out the window and feel worse.Then I look to my sideAnd see my reading bookThat will transport me beyond this city,Still covered in blanketsAnd I am grateful.
