The Kill line
is coming
the noises the pain
they know what is coming
as their blood does drain
the fear is apparent
the anguish, the woe
the inevitable truth
who would want to go
to their death in this manner
resolutely
they try
every means possible
rather than die
where man slaughter man
uses electric prods he
tortures the animals
helps them to see
its better to walk into death
than to stay
getting shocked in the kill line
all of the day
