the babies~

A few years back all the Animals went away~
We woke up one morning n they were all just gone....
They didnt leave a note, they didnt say goodbye...
We never figured out wat quite happened to them.. or where they all had gone...

We missed them~

Some off us thought the world had ended, but it hadn't...
There just weren't any animals left~
No more Dogs or Whales.. No more fishes in the Sea .. No more Birds in the sky...

We were all alone~

We didnt know wat to do.. we wandered around lost, for a time, & then someone pointed out tat just because we didnt have animals anymore, it was no reason to change our lives... There was no reason to change our diets or cease testing products that might cause us harm...

After all, there were still Babies~

Babies cant talk. They can hardly move. A baby is not a rational, thinkin creature.
We made Babies....& we used them....

Some of them we ate...
Baby flesh is tender & succulent~

We flayed their skin& decorated ourselves in it....
Baby leather is soft & comfortable~

Some of them we tested on....
We taped their eyes, dripped detergents & shampoos in, a drop at a time.
We scarred tem & scalded them. we burnt them. We grafted & we Froze, & We irradiated..

The Babies breathed our smoke & the babies' veins flowed with our medicines & drugs, until they stopped breathing or until their bloods ceased to flow.

It was hard, of course, but it was nessary...
No one could deny tat~
With the animals gone... what else could we do?

Then one day all the Babies were gone...~

We didnt know where they went... we didnt even see them go~
We dont know wat we're going to do without them... But we'll think of something..

Humans are smart..
Its wat seperates us from the animals & the babies...
We'll Figure something out~
