His Eyes Were Cold
Hi my name is
well I don't know
I've never had a home
been in a cage since I was born
I can't even move
they inject me with needles
and I get big
and I am scared
because once someone leaves
they never come back
but hopeful too
anything is better than this place
maybe outside this cage
there is something
beautiful
but I can't imagine much else than this
this is all I've ever known
then my cage is open
I make eye contact
for a second
his eyes were cold
and old
he was taught to look away
his eyes were cold
I don't know if he knows
that you can look away from evil
but it still looks into you
the pain you cause
you can pretend you never even caused at all
or that the pain you caused even matter's
but the evil looks into you
regardless you look back
then they hurt me
I cried out in pain
they did'nt care
because I guess
I am less
I am not like them
but I guess that's how humans think
if they have power
they use it
if they are more privlaged
it's because they deserve it
It's ok for them to treat me this way
I don't have the power
I don't have any privlages
there must be a reason
that's why its ok
to treat me this way
so go ahead
look the other way
I feel myself slipping away
but hey
maybe there is something beautiful
when I leave this place
you can eat me
and look away
we all let evil slip away
but hey
there's something better
