My calf I am beside myself

They killed my calf
my baby
I carried him for weeks
I suffered
how I suffered
troughs and never peaks
and the farmers boy
just killed him
and there he is
my boy
laying
lost and broken
yesterday his joy
was evident
he bounced around
and smelled the warm
rich air
and now he lies as if in state
and no one says a prayer
I heard him
and would kick his arse
sending him to kingdom come
for husbandry here is a farce
and leaves me feeling numb
calves and cows are treated
like shit under their boots
the dairy boys are evil
which no one here refutes
all they see is money
that’s the bottom line
caring, loving needing
on that food they don’t dine
they have no hearts
they have no souls
mindless creeps are they
my baby they have killed him
and there’s nothing more to say
