The Colour of Animal Experimentation
The room was a bowl of whiteness
White coats, white hands, white heads
A white razor blared through the silence
And white animals turned deadly red.
Sacrificed at the alter of research
Red paws, red fur, white souls,
Tinted purple suffering
Rebounded off the walls.
A kaleidoscope of colours
Turned a dullish grey
And man ruthlessly imposes
Black death...
In the world today.
