Babies

The Butcher
kills the baby Lamb
the baby Pig
the baby Cow
we have to ask ourselves
the question
honestly now how?
can anyone kill babies
innocent souls who were
given the pure spark of life
how did it occur?
that human’s thought it
viable
to slaughter them at will
and cut them into pieces
so other guts they fill
with the mother’s lamentations
probably rewarded by
being hung on a bloodied gantry
her throat slit from on high
imagine any mother
dying in this way
seeing her sweet babies
murdered what can one say
to experience a life on earth
the karmic debt must be
huge to all those partaking
in the death’s
it seems to me
