Description
With utmost sincerity, they claim to love all beasts,
But with their fork and knife, they feast upon the deceased.
Their hearts filled with compassion, they claim to do no harm,
But with each bite they take, they fuel the factory farm.
They speak of kindness and of love, they wear their hearts on sleeves,
But when it comes to food, they turn a blind eye to their beliefs.
For the sake of taste, they turn a deaf ear to the cries,
Of the animals they claim to love, as they are killed, violently losing their lives.
Oh, the irony of it all, the hypocrisy on display,
As they proclaim their love for animals, but consume them every day.
So let us not be fooled, by those who claim to love,
For true love is not just words, it's actions that we take,
And until we align our actions with our love, our love is fake.

This is a photographic artwork with a real human, and real cats.
Ai was used to create the backdrop which was then photographed and worked into the portrait, making the entire piece photography.
The poem above was created using ai, and then edited by Victoria.
