Civilisation

The courtroom was hushed as Marco entered the room Meekly he entered the witness box. His large brown eyes glanced at the judge as he made his oath. The prosecutor wore a frown that drew down his eyebrows raven-like. Marco answered the prosecutor honestly Gaining the jury's respect. He was Spanish and proud of his country's culture and history. He came here with a heavy heart to bear witness to murder and torture. Marco recounted the bloodshed he had seen. How fellow creatures met their deaths. Writhing in agony. Crazed beasts entered the ring taunted and goaded to the crowd's enjoyment He described how much he despaired at the torture of innocent animals His large brown eyes became pools that leaked tears down his beautiful face. Now and then a sob came from the jury as they heard how little the crowds cared. The andalucian stallion described the nightmares he suffered and how fear cast a shadow over his life. Marco left the witness stand as the jury applauded him. The judge would decide in this court of animal rights. How civilised is humanity? Actions speak louder than words.
