Inhumanity

she smiled as she woke
knowing today was HER day
stretching her legs
she turned and began the long
journey toward the light
laughing as she pushed
and shoved her way
into the passage
beginning the twisting dance
that was her destiny
the darkness fading bit by bit
as she whirled and plunged
finally curling into a ball
she burst into the light
seeing the big kindly hands
awaiting her arrival
the cry of joy beginning on her tiny lips
turning to a wail of pain
as she felt herself turned
her leg being pulled from under her
thinking,
this wasn't part of her journey
early as it was
and then the same kindly hands
cut off that leg
and then the other
the screaming in her mind
drowning out all other sound
as her arms were pulled off
then her head crushed
her dance ending
in a pool of her own blood
