Everywhere the females of the species get a raw deal

it really has to get to you
what we as farmers do
25,000 female Turkeys
in 5 sheds there’s the clue
they are there to lay eggs
and every egg they lay
will become a turkey
and that is how they pay

you would think they treat them kindly
you would think they’d keep them clean
you would think that they’d look after them
but really we are mean
we really are mean spirited
we really do not care
we force them into tiny cages
and we are not aware

these are really great big birds
with flapping feather
and big heads
and we force them into tiny cages
thousands of them in these sheds
and there they lay
they lay each day
and to get the eggs
we do
coax them out
that’s what its about
we cruelly do it too

grab them by a single leg
or tail feathers it must
really hurt those poor birds
for me it does disgust
these eggs they pay their wages
and yet what do they do
they treat them with out compassion
and they molest them too

because they are gigantic
they can never mate
and so it once a week
they are hung upside down
to wait
the bloke the troll without a soul
with his plastic phallic tool
sticks it in them violently
raped yea one and all

this is how they treat them
they don’t bloody care
they sometimes get stuck in their cages
no one’s there to share
the hardship
no one free’s them
they just lay and die
or push out of the cage
and tear themselves, and thatis why
blood trails leave the cages
infections they are rife
they burn their beaks off as you know
and that causes such strife
their feet do get infected
and walking then is a pain
they hobble here and hobble there
over and over again

nobody comes to look at them
nobody tries to see
there are no vets employed to care
that’s how it has to be
they really are given a bad time
and it truly isn’t fair
farm animals get a bad deal
but consumers are they aware ?

Thanksgiving and the other holidays
that people spend
they go and buy a Turkey
the poor soul meets its end
its been treated really terribly
its been tortured all its life
you talk to me about thanksgiving
they thank you for the strife

for the evil that ran wild there
for the filth they had to bear
mothers who love their babies
don’t get a chance to share
not even a minute
they are taken away
and turkey mums are beside themselves
and lament of course and pay

the price for being females
these men trolls here about
what they know about love or anything
I have no doubt
these trolls are vile and rotten
what they are doing here
is tantamount to awful
creating massive fear

As compassion over killing says
why not leave them off your plate
eat something that never had to be killed
make a date
with vegan food just try it out
spare the turkey let
its torture food you are eating
and a pretty big karmic debt
