Chain Reaction
(In a seller of a country villager’s house there was a women held by a chain round her neck, naked even in sheer winter, in a state of trance, who bore and gave birth to eight children for the guy who bought her from some kidnappers... found out in modern China in 2022 AD!)
Do we not saddle the horse and harness the camel?
Milk the cow and yoke the farm cattle?
Do we not for eggs and meat cage the chicken?
Do we not slaughter hogs and lambs for meat?
As if there has never been scalp-hunters
As if we’ve been vegans, never carnivore flesh-eaters
AS IF we have stopped slave trafficking for long
As if we never Abducted and raped women and children
As if there are never fettered prisoners in dungeons
It’s been the human practice throughout history
What is the harm? And whence the fuss in media?
Just suppose they are beasts , all the same
Assume they are unfeeling, beaten and tame
God never overburden his creature
They would lose mind or die of torture
What is liberty? who invented it? why the cackle
Just because a woman is found chain-cooped?
