What dastardly ideas
An octopus farm
These sensitive creatures
Subject to harm
Intelligent that is their
Obvious trait
Perception and consciousness
And sage like gait
A soundness of mind
Lucidity
Rational thought
A true memory
Can reminisce
In a nostalgic way
Can invent and create
Any whimsical day
Farming enslaving
Dividing false reading
Programmed instruction
Where is it leading
Falsity treachery
Prevarication
Trickery dupery
Representation
One, Sy Montgomery
Took on a mollusk
Thinking and feeling
And caring and sharing
Loving in eminence
In pursuit of daring
Discipline extremes
Relentless and merciless
Extort and enslave
Under certain duress
High- handed and rigorous
Leading to sadness
And the ultimate
Dignified truest of stress.

Lovely Rex! The human race gets crueler by the day… I just can’t cope with it anymore… Find it repugnant and immoral as to what is happening in the world 😭
I so agree Dear Sara it’s lovely to have you as a friend
Sometimes it’s like you are so close answering just like that
You take care
Cruelty hatefulness and that’s the government no it’s awful
Just nice to have some lovely friends around that make realise
