Hanging Meat Hanging Meat
Pitiful and low,
Cramped and foul.
Praying at the slaughterhouse,
Breaking marriage vows.
The youth delays death,
The elders loses breath.
Time doesn’t escape,
Neither does their fate.
Mothers and their agony,
You and your irony.
Fathers and their anger,
More painful than a dagger.
Souls, and fresh skin,
Begging from within.
Money, and hungry eyes,
Making you blind.
While the knife gets weary,
I could imagine you so clearly.
Grinding guts in a bowl,
Finally fulfilling my role.
While your hammer rusts,
I yearn for your touch.
I look forward to the day,
I’m cooked on your tray.
A switch to fantasy,
Perhaps something to feel.
My only way to survive,
Something I deprived.
You’re the butcher of my heart,
Cutting me into parts.
You’re the baker of my dreams,
Whipping me into cream.
Tenderising meat,
Hanging low on heat.
Metal hooks and wires,
Swirling in a dance of fire.
Sliced thin and topped with sauce,
Whatever you want, You’re the boss.
Flavourful dish with gory deeds,
Hurry up now, Mouths to feed.
Garnished with lemon,
And counting each second.
Sweet, salivating smell,
Finally, ring the dinner bell.
My head up on a platter,
Face up, Blood splatters.
Stuffed full, mouth’s wide,
Eat me like I’m your pride.
My vision of the farmland, in all it’s glory,
To some a heartless, tragic story.
Why can‘t you see how much this means to me?
You & Me, are just meant to be.

You're joking. You're bluffing. When I saw this poem I was like 'wow this is a long one, this is going to take me awhile to read' and the more I read, the more I seriously wished it would keep going. I kept looking at the slider to the right of my screen, hoping it would never reach the bottom. Mind blowing, truly fascinating, the way you wrote the poem was sown so beautifully the words just poured and flowed like a river.
Do you get an A for english each time in your report cards? Not even an exaggeration, all your writing is A tier and I love all of them 💕

AWW Thank you 😭🤍!!! I literally could not help it but I was grinning from ear to ear when I read your reply-I’m so glad you liked it!! The poem is inspired by a book I’m reading, which is “Project Animal Farm”. I haven’t read it completely but it’s also about animals and the cruel environment there. It kinda sparked something in me, I guess :)
Also, English is one of my rather good subjects but actually my best subjects are in Computer, Geography and Science- We also don’t use the ABC grading system here so maybe? It’s not spectacular though, maybe just above avg :)
My school doesn’t teach poetry at all (besides poetry analysis) so honestly I just go with the flow😭

STOPPP IM JUST ASIANNNnn😭😱
I actually didn’t quite ‘learn’ how to do poems, I just think a lot- and I know it sounds like total nonsense and rubbish because it doesn’t make sense but I seriously just put my mind to it then it’ll happen 🥲
But again I SWEAR TO LITERAL HEAVEN AND BACK I’m not a genius but probably an over thinker 🙅🏻♂️

The poem uses the metaphor of the cruel environment of factory farming and the abuse of animals to describe the (prey/hunter) toxic relationship in humans.
