Here I am
I’m black and white
a baby
mooing day and night
“where’s my mummy”?
“where is she”
out of ear shot
tragically
in a cage
why in a cage?
on a truck
why on a truck
kicked and beaten
what the f–k!
I am lame
wrenched by my tail
where’s my mummy
Yes I’m male
I am a boy
but still so small
in the truck a final call
lots of others
with me here
I’ve had no food
I can smell fear
It permeates
my every hour
as in this shed now
I do cower
30 hours no food at all
Australia
No one hears my call
led into the crushing stall
and nothing left of me at all
