Animals testing in labs (Form the perspective of an lab animal) 26 million of us Used for testing in labs We are not humans Why are we testing your products So many of us We want to be free from needles Free from makeup products Free from hair products Living in cages until we die Wishing we were free Animal captivity (from the perspective of a protester) taken from your family Can you imagine Forced to perform tricks Or live in a small cell For the rest of your life A nightmare to you But it's just the life of an animal in captivity More animal captivity Tigers are naturally petrified of fire Yet they are forced to jump through flaming hoops Mother bears keep their cubs for years to teach them surviving skills yet They are taken away from their parents and kept in tiny cages to be sold to zoos or for profit Orcas are supposed to swim up to 100 miles a day Yet the largest tank at seaworld Orlando is only 170 ft long Wild elephants are moving 18 hours a day Yet at Ringling Brothers they are chained for 22 hours a day They sway as a sign of distress Animals are not ours for entertainment Stand up for what’s right Say no to animal captivity Animals used for captivity (Form the perspective of a protester) If you love animals Do not go to the zoo If you love animals Do not go to the animal circus If you love animals Do not go to Seaworld If you love animals Stand up for what’s right Say no to animal captivity Animal poaching from the perspective of a protester, a poacher and a animal who was poached Protester -illegal hunting for exotic pet trade to illegal hunting for fun criminal acts have a devastating impact on some of the world’s most loved species Animals poachers are cruel people These innocent animals deserve better than to be killed Hunter -Who cares about these animals They do nothing that helps us And for what it’s worth I just need the money Lion-sneaking up on us A trigger is pulled Striking pain in my left side Then it all goes black

A Helpless Lab Animal
I was just a helpless guinea pig Alone in a cold room. I saw some humans in white coats With sharp blades I saw my life flash before my eyes As they hovered over me They stuck a needle into my leg The world started getting darker Darker, darker darker….. In The Mind Of The Abuser They are just stupid little critters They don’t know what is happening to them They don’t have feelings They are meant to be caged up Us humans are superior We can talk, think, and learn We can do so much more Than just a stupid little rodent Animals are meant to be test dummies They are just stupid little critters Animals Deserve Better Treatment! Animals Deserve better treatment They have feelings too! They are adorable! They are very smart! They have been on this planet longer than we have They were here first! There are many varieties! They all have unique traits! But they all deserve better treatment ANIMALS DESERVE BETTER TREATMENT! #stop#s #stop#s #hashtags are killing animals #do you want them to go extinct? #do you want humans to be the only ones on earth? #no# #Stop eating animals #Go vegan #Animal could be eating you right now #but they don’t #no# #stop using them for test dummies #Stop keeping them captive #They are meant to be set free #stop#s What Is My Opinion? What is my opinion on all this animal abuse? Well, I think that people should stop caging animals that are meant to be free I know we all love pets Dogs, cats, hamsters, and chinchillas are all lovable pets But hedgehogs, turtles, and rabbits? they are meant to be free and zoos….. oh how I hate zoos They capture the animals that are the most meant to be free The fierce tiger, the majestic antelope, and the lumbersome elephant they are meant to be free not caged up in a tiny enclosure so take my word and let the animals be free! Fur Industry Up to 450 killed in a year For Snow Leopards the end is quite near Killed for their fur, Though big cats they do not purr People run from their homes to kill them though it is unjust To at least try to protect them we must Pushed from their home, Into new territory, still not free to roam Deep in the Himalayas eating mountain goats Protecting their cubs while they get slit in the throat People run from their homes to kill them though it is unjust To at least try to protect them we must Shark Fishermen On a boat designed for killing A shark fisherman chugs out to the sea With one mission To hunt And to kill To catch And slice the fin off To throw the helpless shark back into the murky water Leaving it there to die On a boat designed for killing A shark fisherman chugs out to the sea Leaving not a wake of water But a wake of death A wake of despair And a wake of cruelty On a boat designed for killing A shark fisherman chugs out to the sea Elephant poaching \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ Walking our normal path Sometimes stopping to eat some grass Following mom's tail Just walking along the trail In the middle of the day My tail starts to sway Mom lays down for a nap Maybe she’s tired, perhaps Sensing fear from the others As they trample way Calling out to mom Slowly backing up Thinking, it's not night, why does she sleep Not returning my call Watching her fall I look into the eyes of a human The fearful eyes Scared but brave Watching mom sent to her grave Mom lays down for a nap Maybe she’s tired, perhaps /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ HAWKSBILL SEA TURTLES Hunted for their shells Floating through the sea swells Numbers declining For their cloud, there is no silver lining Used widely in jewelry You must be a fool if you don’t see That it is them that needs protecting And that it is our world that needs perfecting Las Vegas
Excited for a concert Getting in the car with my daughter Arriving to the place Having a fun time Hear some pops The music stops Confused about what happened The music goes back on We hear more pops People drop to the floor Everyone goes crazy Running around not knowing what to do More pops come One hits you You fall to the floor People just keep running someone picks me up Running to their car Takes me to the hospital and saves my life You're looking around to find a specific person Then, you realize she was at the concert Ask where she is No one knew You realize she was left there to die with no one she knows Perspective of a bullet In the dark You feel cold You hear cocking above you You feel the trigger I can smell the gunpowder as I'm flung out Airs in you face See someone in the way Trying to move away Going to fast Innocence is there You're to late Work Walking down a street Minding my own business Going to work A cop turns the corner Stares at me a second I quicken my pace Thinking I'm gonna be late I start a light jog I hear someone jogging behind me I stop I get tackled to the ground I get beat up The police officer says “put your hands in air”. Untitled Excited for using my new nerf gun My parents got it in bright orange I hate orange, so I color it black I go outside Play around The cops come They said “put your hands in the air” I didn’t know who they were talking to so you keep walking I hear a gunshot I turn around and you see a bullet coming at you I get hit Everything goes black Life Going to the mall with my friends I never notice my skin difference anywhere else except here We go into a shop and a work lady keeps following us We go to one side then to thee other and she’s still there It’s like she’s on a pursuit We go to another store and it happens again I picked some sunglasses and tried them on and a lady called security They take me from my friends and put me in juvie for a week From a perspective of a gun
I feel cocked I feel handled I feel scared I hear Screams I feel Chaos I see flashes I hear Bang I see Sirens I see Lights I see bodies This is the perspective of the victim Walking home See cop He follows me I go in a store I buy my son a toy gun I come out of the store The cop jumps me I drop the toy He punches me When I go to the hospital I see mostly blacks This is about the mass shooting in Las Vegas. At a concert I start to hear bangs Then flashes People start to scream I see a man He has gun Many people running He is right behind me He shoots me! Ouch! My leg! People drive me to the hospital I'm on the verge of death This is from the perspective of the murder... Walking around Thinking Thinking I feel like this is right I need to do this I keep telling myself This is right I will do it When I walk in People scream I hear “He has a gun” I don’t even think I just Kill But something is wrong I feel something It is consuming me I feel bad I can’t take it I take the gun And shoot myself This is from the perspective of a cop Call comes from radio Someone reports there’s man with a gun My heart pounds I drive over I see him He is shooting He shoots again I pull out my gun walk out He shoots again I shoot him This poem is called guns in school Guns in school Guns in school I hate guns in school Scared Aware Nervous Do they help? Are you scared? Would you use ? Is it good ? Guns in school School Shootings by Milo
The bell tolled, an ominous sign, class has ended Hurrying to the next class We freeze Click-clack-click-clack Someone coming down the hallway Click-clack-click-clack Coming closer Click-clack-click-clack Getting faster Click-clack-click-clack-click-clack A man with a gun is slightly visible Click-clack-click-clack We run Click-clack-bam The piercing sound of a bullet shot through the hallway It echoed in my mind over and over as I ran, terrified Click-clack-bam Aztec High School Click-clack-bam Marshall County High Click-clack-bam Sandy Hook Elementary Click-clack-bam Racial Profiling By: Milo Down the highway Going 55 Brand new car Registered a week ago Police car and the sirens In the mirror I pull over Questions asked Answers given Car towed, my expense Hotel for the night Went to court they didn’t repay me Driving while black. A Drive By: Milo A long sandy stretch of road Driving on the loud lane in New Mexico already wasn’t fun Especially the bad smelling rental car, My coffee hides the odor. Suddenly, Blue lights flashing in my eye Police Again The third time this month. A black woman on a drive Is that so threatening? Ask your questions You think I couldn’t possibly have a licence? You think I have to be hiding something? You think The car must be stolen? Or could it be I’m just A black woman on a drive And you are racist Concert In a jacket or behind a bag, Being in a classroom is certainly a drag Loaded or not both equally scary And definitely if you have ammo to carry Automated weapons cause terrifying dreams And some think they are great it seems, While others look with great displease In the end the lesson is clear Don’t use guns, especially with beer L.V.

Friends dying Horns being taken away Humans going towards them Horns being ground Medicine they call it They know it's fake Selling it Grinding it They don't care They care for money Made of keratin Selling it Grinding it. I will now write from the perspective of a man who thinks that they need to have ivory carvings.

Bad dude’s perspective talking to anyone The filthy creatures crammed in a cage I can almost feel sorry for them The terror and sorrow in their eyes They would do anything to escape Their fur is so nice to wear If you stare into their eyes you can see the pain You can see the longing You can see the wish for freedom and comfort They will never feel comfort They will never be happy They will never be free Puppy mills from the dog’s point of view I have so many siblings that I have lost count I hate my home Filthy Crowded I don’t feel safe I don’t feel clean I don’t feel secure I don’t get baths I don’t get love All day, everyday I am always outside Even in the winter I want love I want cleanliness I want to feel secure I hate my home Someone that doesn’t like animal cruelty talking to anyone No animals deserve to suffer It happens so much Sometimes when you walk by the building you can hear animals in pain You can sense their misery It is so disheartening that some people ruin animal’s lives It doesn’t only affect the animals, but them too No one deserves to suffer Idk what to call this 26 million animals are tested on a year Some of them suffer Some of them don’t They don’t have good lives Probably not long ones either It is sad They deserve better lives Uggs I am the one who does it all I am the one that kicks the sheep I am the one that hurts the sheep I am the one that sometimes doesn’t make sure if they are still alive when I skin them I am the bad one I am the one that ruins their lives They are made from sheepskin and fur They hurt the sheep in the process They kick them They starve them Occasionally, the sheep even get skinned alive |
