Poems of compassion dedicated to the non-human animals who share this planet
with us and the people who fight for them.
Montage by Claire Palmer
Murderous, so-called
“Entertainment.”
X-rated in its bloody brutality.
Incomprehensible.
Calculating, callous, cruel.
Oblivious to fellow suffering.
Manic violence.
Endless, unendurable pain (with karmic repercussions!)
“X my arse! None of your foreign business!”
Infernal Dominionism.
Catholic credo.
Onerous, obnoxious.

Note: The Mexican-Spanish word for male goat “Cabrón” is simultaneously (and inexplicably) used for “motherfucker.”
Needless to say, it is not the poor, caprine victims who are the “motherfuckers” here.
