"Experiment # 23-A"
You cry and shriek, it rends my soul,
there's nothing I can do
but watch in horror as the grip of death
folds around you!
"O God!" I scream out, "Why?!"
I claw and chew, I can't get out!
Slowly we must watch as one by
one we are snuffed out.
And now it's you there on the table!
You turn and look into my eyes,
a look of peace, of love,
still your fear wears no disguise.
I keep clawing, biting while you watch,
knowing there's nothing I can do.
But no! Oh no, here he comes
with that needle towards you!
I'm frantic, as are all the rest,
but there's no way out of here!
Shrieking, scratching, biting,
then your scream stops me in fear!
They've done it to you.
I watch and die inside, your shrieks
slowing what seems forever;
your body violently jerking
in ways a body should move never.
Your final breaths, you look
once more at me as if to say,
you know I tried, it's not my fault,
this is just the way.
My comfort that it won't be long
as one's at the cage once more,
now reaching for a lab rat
like so many times before.
