Poetry: Fed up

by Danielle Hieronimi

Created on: July 19, 2008

A mink was killed for that one scarf.
A calf was murdered for your steak.
A rabbit got sick from testing your foundation.
A bull was stripped for those leather shoes.

I am so sick. I am fed up.
The mink calls you, yanks the hair from your body.
The calf gets a knife and slits your neck.
The rabbit gives you a new chemical to test on your face.
The bull comes and strips off your skin.

Now think, was it really worth it?
No, no it wasn't. So next time be a tad more concious.
It really isn't hard. I am being honest.
