a concentrated animal feeding operation

a shed full of clamorous taunting and
screeching
crying and screaming
which is so far reaching
it enters our ears and goes
straight to our heart
at appealing and revealing
it goes off the chart

unbelievable cruelty
violence and hate
frustration and tiredness
and boredom to rate
this treatment as anything
better than Hell
its awful its terrible
and yes the smell

is enough to destroy
all olfactory sense
like great waves of urine
incredibly dense
that circle the nostrils
and deaden the brain
and pull tears in buckets loads
from the insane

it drives you to wonder
how bad can it be
when loads of vile corpses
and all maggoty
are left in great heaps
for the chickens to share
as they live in their cells
and evoke such despair

amongst all the shit
all that snot all that pus
you just want to spit
and stop breathing
and cuss
you just want to be
right out of that place
into fresh air
not even a trace

but your there
close your eyes
else than what you can see
tribes of sick souls
bleeding some profusely
subjected to evils
created to solve
that of space and of profit
and how both evolve

everything’s geared up
to make money for
the corporate creeps
who control the law
there isn’t an order its
haphazard hell
a complete holocaust
and the vilest of smell

there’s terrible misery
for these young souls
the pain must be terrible
budgets and goals
no doubt are exceeded
but those in the pot
its not an existence
for nothing they’ve got

such abject agony
such a tiny space
and they share with maggots
all over the place
and these are your eggs
that you have with your tea
my God if you saw this you definitely

would become vegan
because no one here
could work and could see
and could eat
well the fear
alone from infections
must carry it all
its never cleaned out
just one look will appal

will sicken the spirit
will induce you to be
sick from your gut
from your bowels
just take me
I went out and puked
up the content for I
decided for days
and this is no lie

that I wouldn’t eat
anything and that dire smell
stayed with me for weeks
years after I tell
the story of those chicken sheds
that I saw
and I come over queasy
just like before

so these untrained foreign workers
many are poor
they may be aliens
out side the law
a few hours of training
and thrust into this
hell on earth
place with great clouds of piss

that soak you that get through
whatever you wear
so that when you go home
you are still so aware
after you’ve bathed
after you’ve slept
still inside of you
its seems to have crept

and find its place
deep in your bowels and you
will sense that its there
and nothing you can do
when you get on the bus
people move away
when you get in the bath
the water goes grey

its a job but what they do
to animals there
is for anyone really
so hard to bear
and its all down to profit
the figures it all
the banksters the management
with iron rods they rule
and you do what they say
or do nothing at all
