little piglets

If you hear the cries
while being taken away
to a slaughter house
knowing what’s happening to
their brothers
If you watch with a careful eye
you can see them cry just like
you and me
They squeal and fight `cause it does
mean their life
they will never see their mothers again
Can you hear them cry?
and beg for just a little more time
as you do

  4. This is so sad (and I say that as a pork-lover). I really like it.

    How funny that we should write about pigs on the same day.

  5. Viv I had read Tillybud's poem and it brought to mind an experience I had when I first moved to Mexico. When I lived on a pig farm. Real sad experience for me.
    And that is why I wrote this.

  6. Tillybud it was after reading your poem that I wrote this
    It reminded me of an experience I had here in Mexico.
