The Men in White

Their blank eyes
Stare emotionlessly back at me
Window's into their souls,
yet no soul can be seen.
No mercy
As they torture;
Burn, poison, cut;
Me and my fellow animals.

Vivisection;
what a daunting word.
When it passes your lips
I cringe;
Memories flood my already
traumatized mind;
Of the pain I experienced;
The thoughts I thought.
The feelings I felt.
The sights I saw.
The Smells I smelt.

Blood;
Everywhere.
Pain;
Never ceasing.
Terror etched deeply on their faces;
In their broken minds.

Our screams
Never reach anybodies ears
but our own.
Our cries of terror are sealed
Behind closed doors.

Scream, Cry, Rise,
Rise against
The Men in White

The author's comments:
My poem is about vivisection. (Animal Testing/experimentation) When I say Men in White, I mean the scientists who experiment on the animals (They wear white lab coats) and when I say "Rise against" I mean help stop vivisection, because its something our world could do without...

It's beautiful in that painful, hard to read way. Thank you for posting this poem!
