Pointless, needless Beyond human comprehension Existence devoted To nightmarish *** How has science been advanced When vivisection destroys lives? By their indifference, By their acceptance Humanity's been lowered in my eyes The lack of outrage speaks volumes In the absence of empathy When an animal identical to their own Is tortured without mercy. Only a bloodthirsty Psychopath would do this As their choice After the sight of tears After hearing the pain in their voice Wailing in terror For the hideous acts of abuse to end Before minds shatter they contort They twist and bend. The lack of outrage speaks volumes In the absence of empathy When an animal identical to their own Is tortured without mercy. Ailing volunteers would advance The process overnight Cures perfected in time to save them Never see the light Depraved indifference to the creatures' lives While humans lives are lost For industry, for legality All suffer the cost The horror that won't subside Like a tumor that grows and multiplies Can't erase the actuality That plagues my thoughts incessantly. The lack of outrage speaks volumes In the absence of empathy When an animal identical to their own Is tortured without mercy.
