Born into industrial dairy
Stolen from my mother, scary
In pain, frightened, alone, so very
All for your unnecessary

Visitors saw me
Not an ‘it’. ME

My eyes asked ‘Do not harm us’
In my presence, they were honest
And saw the cruelties inflicted upon us
They embraced me, solace
And to me, they made a promise
