A floor made for killing
living graves to be filled
punishment capital
The imprisoned wallow in sorrow and filth
To the abattoir, they are transported in terror
Single file, a fate unknown and yet well aware
Overwhelmed by the stench of rot and of ruin
Trauma rains down as they are confined to the tomb
Forceful strike, the forehead impaled
Exsanguination intact, empathy failed
Those not easily exterminated, the suffering continues
Strangled, scalded, beaten, the violence ensued
Meathooks dig in and throats are slit
dismembered for delicacy,
drowning in the depths of the stick pit
Families torn to shreds, along with their flesh
A mantle sealed in blood, an industry of death
They die alone, bawling, begging for mercy
When a life becomes a product, can we call ourselves humanity?
