Testing by Maya Merchant

The beautiful eye shadow
Glitters on her eye lids;
the liquid liner
and mascara,
are irritating.
The nail polish cracks her delicate nails,
but we don’t care.
Better she suffer than us.
Tears form,
her eyes are very red;
in an instant
she is blind.
The concealer seeped into her sockets.
She is writhing in pain.
“The Loreal concealer 312 is not working”
says one scientist.
“She’s not going to make it!” another cries.
“Euthanize her!” they shout.
And just like that, Rabbit 3-9A41 is dead.

But better her than us.
