See the Horrors

The meat industry knows
if you saw the horrors
you would turn vegan.

The military knows
if you saw the horrors
you would be a pacifist already.

The loggers know
if you met the family of owls
full of hopes in their new nest and
the oil companies know if you saw
the seal gasping for life and
the lithium miners know and
the diamond sellers know
and Nestlé knows
and
and
and

they all know.

So I beg you.
open the eyes
in your heart
and the hope
in your eyes
and see the horrors.
