In The Beginning and At The End

In The Beginning

We are fur.
We are fin.
We are skin.
We are scale.

We are wing.
We are feather.
We are common.
We are rare.

We are plain.
We are mountain.
We are ocean.
We are mire.

We are earth.
We are wind.
We are water.
We are fire.

At the End

We are branded.
We are numbered.
We are barcodes.
We are tags.

We are shackled.
We are prodded.
We are driven.
We are dragged.

We are slashed.
We are clubbed.
We are bludgeoned.
We are stunned.

We are skinned.
We are gutted.
We are drawn.
We are hung.
