Heartless, the insentience
of wearing someone else’s skin
imagine that
the stupor
that’s kind of wearing thin
not realizing what it is
you upon your soul
the dead body of another
who took another role
they too were created
by the same dear force
as you
but you decided that they
must die
so you could do
what
you wanted to do
wear that soft white shrug
or that sable haired
coat, you
just felt so flamboyant in
but bloody clueless too
imagination the stagnation
the phlegm inside your gut
the indifference
and the unconsciousness
and yet your eyes are not shut
they can see the world around them
the beauty of the sky
they can see a cat that shimmers
in the moment of an eye
but the cuffs or gloves
you are wearing are made
of another cat
probably one from China
what do you think of that?
a dead soul hung and stripped
alive
its wild cries reached the moon
its blood just trickled to the ground
and very very soon
along with 50 others
became the coat you wear
what kind of monster are you
why are you unaware?
and look at the scruffy collars
on your anorak do you feel
the softness and warmth
around your neck
does it so appeal
that’s a Raccoon Dog
a healthy obedient soul
who was hung up on a rusty nail
and stripped alive
a role
you wouldn’t give the devil
the egregious pain
the evil and that’s every anorak
really the disdain
of that
and you just close your eyes
and stop your ears
for they
would have picked up
all those torrid shrieks
along the way
and what of the pretty seal skin
bag
you bought for a thousand quid
its so soft on your fingers
someone did get rid
of that darling baby
on the Canadian waste
burst its brains all down its face
on that it was based
and you forked out that money
and that baby died a death
a nursing pup
was ruptured was murdered
and a cup
of its blood splattered everywhere
so you could have that bag
now you know the reason
why we call you
a fur hag
those of you supporting the likes
of Harvey Nickols
they profit from this carnage
and as the blood just
trickles
out upon the ice flow
and possibly into the sea
I know what its made of
and how it shouldn’t be
we, are the protesters
we, stand up for those
who haven’t got the voices
and who cannot write in prose
who just become the victims
of your profanity
your evil and your ugliness
and your insanity
Clad in fur that
just might purr
might growl
might bark
who knows
one day
they may come back to life
and just bite off your nose
