Our Shadows
By Beth Levine
In the shadows of our
Omelet
Bacon
Cheese
Steak
Chicken
We cloak the truth
Of our choices
Hoping the darkness
Will protect us from the
Blood
Cries of pain
Terror
Suffering
Death
Of beautiful
Innocent
Animals
But our shadows
Of selfishness
Grow
And
Our indifference
Plagues our society
