_{They will be coming for him, my baby soft, with eyes still filled with wonder.
Bestow him with a million kisses I wish were shields to save him from his fate.}

_{They will come boots crunching announcing their presence in the hay.
They will pull, drag, beat his little crying form and I shall stand screaming.}

_{My grief will echo through these walls in bleeding chunks of desperation.
My pain has become part of the very structure they house me in.}

_{Touch the stones and they will reverberate in the sad history of my people.
It leaks into the souls of the imprisoned painting our days in shades of dread.}

_{The children born here are products of violation yet we cherish our few stolen moments.
My son, my beautiful son, soak up this love, this ocean you fill me with.}

_{They are coming now, one never feels prepared no matter how often one experiences it.
My errant hopes of a miracle crushed like the flowers you will never get to see.}

_{I take in your scent, categorise every detail, you are a marvel born into nightmare.
The footsteps of our captors are the timer announcing the expiration of your light.}

_{I call your name, for hours, days, until silence takes residence in the darkness I am left to live in.
My baby soft, you are no more now then broken dismembered flesh under uncaring hands.
Your only crime- to not have been born Human.}

Writing notes:

The horrors of the meat egg and dairy industry haunt me day in and day out. We humans love to see ourselves as pinnacle of creation but as long as we destroy the planet we live on and enslave , main , rape, torture and kill the other races of earth as we do I cannot see us as anything but a malicious virus.

The natural lifespan of a cow is 20-25 years under our hands most dairy cows do not make it over the age of five.By that time their bodies are so run down that they resemble seniors more than the young animals they actually are. Force impregnated at an age they would not yet chose to in natural settings they are violated every year like this to keep the milk we steal from them flowing. In most farms the children are taken directly after birth or a few days later. The males are either killed right away or fattened up for 3-6 months and then killed. the girls are raised to relive the hell of their mothers.

There is a myth perpetuated by the industry that cows do not care what happens to their young truth is that that is seldom the case, most try to fight to keep them scream for days for their children and show obvious signs of depression. Humans love to chalk it up to instinct but truth is that the very hormones cows produce to bond with their young are the same ones that are released after birth in a human mothers system to do the same. there are documented cases of mother cows hiding their babies in fields and mothers with broken hips fighting to protect their babies.

We love to claim that what we are doing is natural and that all animals do it but truthfully we humans have ventured so far from natural that this is but a lame excuse. The modern human does not need to eat, milk, dairy or eggs, in fact it is really bad for them as several Harvard and other studies prove. It is a choice we chose to be monsters where we could be protectors and guardians. Yesterday I was once again confronted with slaughterhouse footage from the U.S the cow was dismembered while it was still conscious the stunning did not work properly and they just skinned and chopped of her legs anyway. The workers said it happens often and they do not restunn because it is taken off their work time- such are things we humans do.
