Migration- A Poem About A Meat Worker’s Plight Saanvi Kunisetty

 Migration- A Poem About A Meat Worker’s Plight

Saanvi Kunisetty


A naive and oblivious childhood

Lacking endless, laborious days

But a salmon’s migration means

That those times are gone for good


Dung and dirt strewn everywhere

Severed fingers galore

We’re all nothing but captives

In this turbulent river of despair


A glimpse of the end ignites a spark

Past the tumultuous blows 

My heart stops as I realize

The destination is nothing but dark
