Art (how can art be responsible for the deaths of 4 sentient beings)

I sit here pondering
wondering
where the world is going
how the innocent can be caught up
in the two in and froing
an artist wants to create some
so called existential display
and needs to kill a cow
and 3 pigs
you see he wants to say
something using their organs
and their dead bodies, he
feels the need to express
himself and he’s allowed to be

given the chance to do this
the animals will be killed
he is the executioner
it should be his blood spilled
these animals are sentient
who the hell is he
to decide when 4 sweet soiuls
must lose their life
how can that be

ritualistic artwork
to me is sinful stuff
no wonder there is a petition
we have all had enough
beings were not created to be
put down on some whim
if he wants some sacrifice
there is always him

in the sixties so I’ve heard
he skinned and mutilated one
lamb that was a baby
to me it just does stun
the psyche all the feelings
how can this be right
what the hell is happening
our days have become night

and crucified against a piece of fabric
dazzling white
covered in the babies sweet entrails
if there is light
in abyss
pray tell me
where it is for I
feel only doom and gloom
surrounds this work
the tears we cry

are endless for the voiceless ones
existence seems to me
to be one tortuous evil road
towards depravity
meat and hunting, entertainment
circus, rodeo
bull fighting and running
there’s an eerie glow
fur and faux fur fashions
the cunning of them all
and now its artwork killings
and the ramblings of a fool

for me we have to stop this nonsense
now once and for all
art is about creation
the death knell must not fall
on any living creature
for ego’s sake for we
are out beyond the stars on this
and what is depravity
must never ever be an excuse
for slaughtering and we
must stand up and be counted
for all humanity
