Sympathy for a Pig (Free verse) by phbiscuit
Clean feet
Clean sheets
Time will start again
Will they know my name?
Strangers staring...
Because I'm new
Or because of who I was?
Simple things make a simple life,
As long as I'm hiding
Why not start a life?
Farmer me, simple me,
Doing all the simple things.
Plant the seeds,
Reap the grain,
Bale the hay,
Drink away
All the tirings of the day
One more day, one more thing
A simple thing.
Slaughter the pig.
Are they watching?
Can I, can simple me
Do this simple thing?
The blood is not the same blood.
The man is not the same man.
It's not a man!
It's just a pig.
It's only a pig.
It's only a pig,
Only a pig!
Not a man,
Just a pig!
Just a pig
But I can't!
Just a pig!
They're staring at me...
