A mass of heads and limbs
and trunks and stomachs
form one block
interspersed with blood and lymph
to see it, its a shock
previously several souls
were put on this earth to be
and at the hands of man unkind
this is, now, what we see
vivisection torn to pieces
cut up, these were souls
alive and well
created
pray tell
the surgeons in their holes
who dismantle
living creatures
they are so good at this
but make a calf
from scratch oh no!
they are all wind and piss
