Oppression

If We considered
the oppression of animals
We would find it hard to be
anything but VEGAN
For all this
savagery
These are purely friendly ,
caring creatures
they understand completely
what we do
we treat them as commodities
cogs in our great wheel
and as such their short
lives and deaths we then try to conceal

The slaughterhouse, or Death Camp
is obnoxious,leading to this place
of ill repute
is a journey from the farm
wherever that was
to the slaughterhouse by truck
a circuitous route
packed together many sick and dying
knowing that the ultimate was near
they were clearly going
to be slaughtered
the cries of others sounded
in their ear
Consider that oppression
few consumers care about
what they,
truthfully are going through
all they want is prime cuts for their
table, everyday.
so the animals suffer life gets tougher
than its ever been before
the poor creatures are strung up
throats slit its Halal
its with us almost everywhere
These ritual killings rule
No there is no lull in murder
and cruelty for all

But many don’t die quickly
more torture, and more pain
strung up on the gantry and moved
with some vile chain
their knuckles crudely hacked off
hanging by one leg
words fail me here
to understand the savagery and
squalor and the fear
the cries, the bleats
the evil
the slaughter men now paid
to carry out this distasteful work
in conditions in a trade
thats cold and now unequalled
for vile intensity
it really is a lot to ask
of people’s sanity
the agony and fear
its all around them
blood that pours from severed
throats, the cries
spluttering and muttering
in the death throes stuttering
as thousands of cow and pigs so
realise
Death is coming in the form
of torture, more pain
which has been, their very life
On Death row for the crimes
of other carnivores
and sadly soon to perish
by the knife
But some may die much later
in the scalding tanks
drowned in their own
juices, cooked in fact
I cannot begin to realise
what this must do to souls
and how in their last moments
they react
Compassion clearly
they accept has disappeared
the human carnivore
has none of that
besieged by beastly torture
and mass murder of a species
They must close their eyes
and wonder where their at!
