Shenita Etwaroo

My life in a cage -as narrated by a baby rabbit

Pain and screams, that’s all I hear now.Loneliness and fear, that’s all I feel now.Blood and death, that’s all I see now.An Experiment... that’s all I am now.

For these callous people, whose obdurate hands will cripple, and divide body into parts—don’t they have any hearts? To feel leniency on my soft skin, Through which they will inject in, chemicals, and poisons to test, for redundant things, they crush my chest.

They lead us to neurotic behavior;from intense stress, they give no savior.To stop this brutal practice en masse, Or to lead us to a way out, or passage, Through these small and murky cages, Within which I’ve spent my ages, Until you are with me, I can only cry, For when the cage opens, it’s my turn to die.

(2012)
