I see the shelves for what they are…
a world of hurt
the corner where patrons dine on their hamburgers I visualize the irreplaceable rain forest burning
the tank where silent pleas for help represent the abject apathy of a dying ocean
the colorful bakery counter brings to mind the many mothers who have lost their babies
- to harbor so much grief and pain within those walls -
neat rows of packaged death, oppression, exploitation…
I can *see* them all and I feel an overwhelming helplessness to stop this senseless violence
to communicate effectively with people who are decent at heart but cannot *see*
please stop
that’s is all I can do – plead with people to stop
what we are doing is beyond terrible
beyond offensive
revolting
atrocious
depraved
disturbing
vile
disastrous
all are insufficient
vegans try to avoid complicity as best they can
with a uncaring, unthinking, unmerciful, violent monster
please stop
the screams surround me
