Experimentation

We are sacrificed
for cleaning liquid
or may be a toilet block
our precious lives are taken
we get and expect such shock
and awe and evil and of course woe
wild animals are in the know
we are treated as if we are worthless

tested on all the time
toxicity is favourite
out of the pit they climb
the corporate technicians
with little else to do
but torture us forever
and watch us as we spew

and spew we do
our hearts up
regretting being alive
captured by the human tribe
and now made to imbibe
all manner of dark liquids
injections too we get
in radio active rooms we sit
this is indeed the debt

each of us must take on
in the laboratories of fear
cramped in tiny cages
hardly can we hear
anything now but the screaming
it goes on every day
as the white coats
cut into us and simply walk away

then packed into bottles
of formaldehyde we’re stored
all around the surgery
so nobody is bored
we can see preserved relatives
floating in these jars
cut about and pickled
hardly forgotten stars

we are sacrificed for little
we are lost souls for no cause
we are put upon and tortured
almost without pause
its all done in the back rooms
and few of you can see
that once I was a wild child
but they’ve forced him out of me
