William Blake
Knew of karmic Debt
All those years ago
“Robin red breast in his cage”
His auguries on show

Me well I have been
Penning odes
For over 70 years
Following in the footsteps
Of the great souls it appears

“Auguries of Innocence”
Billions of souls have died
The Meat Trade
And the Farmers
Their profits they’ve denied

Mothers fathers babies
Slaughtered in Great pain
Stunned and frightened
And others killed
In front of us just slain

In front of some
mothers
Baby piglets smashed
Down hard on a concrete floor
Their little heads just bashed

Watching their legs still twitching
Families feel this woe
Government inspectorate
Watching as we know
The runts don’t get a look in
Gestation fall aways
Why infants ?
all that karma
Still blow after blow

The cruelty at slaughter
And now Halal we see
And Kosher no pre stunning
Bled out violently
Multi purpose slaughter
It’s happening today
Halal kosher and conventional
The meat trade cries Hoo ray

Carnivoral Death and karmic Debt
The title of Blake’s ode
I have written thousands of them
But it doesn’t bode
All that well for animals
Whom They slaughter everyday
In front of each other,
Just imagine that
They pray

The Jewish and the Muslims
In their sacred tongues
Conventionally their wondrous prayers
More so heed the tongues
Of government Inspectorate
Who sadly fail to see
The vile and vicious end of life
That happens seemingly.

20% of halal probably tortured pain
And almost all of the kosher kills
They watch all the blood drain
Out onto the kill floor
That is what they do
Slaughter every innocent
Yes my Dears it’s true.
