A group of Pigs
Inquisitively
all knowing
showing
signs of stress
the sights and sounds
around
no sentient

the sights and sounds

agitated as the cries
of others fill the air
the horror
they try to escape
its really hard
to share
of others fill the air
the horror

to share
so much
insensitivity
that men present
Today
which forces them to
watch, to climb
over the dead
oh Nay!

Today

oh Nay!
no respect for life
for thinking
sentient souls
who came into this
world to share
a life
with some controls
which gave them
little for their last
few moments
all they saw
was torture, blood
and guts
heaped up upon them
and more gore
Pigs are more
intelligent
they figured it all out
dying in this hell hole
within
and yet
without
the love and care
of we, who share
this world
and clearly are
allowing this to happen
in every
abbatoir
insensitive progression
into a hellish end
for this group of pigs
who were so aware
what message
did it send
the doors were closed
the video sent shivers
through the spines
of Australia
for its failure
to see the danger
