Why animal rights

why not I say
each of us everyone needs rights
too many wrongs are perpetrated
we’re thrust into fights
we suffer and we try to surface
buried in it all
the factory the CAFO and the corporate
the call
on us
as well us animals
is now immense and we
are at the end of our tether
in adversity we be

and carnivores are insensitive
they do not care at all
whether we get strung up or stapled to some wall
whether we get stunned a bit
or our throats are just sawn through
whether we die in agony
they just don’t have a clue
as long as we are tender
the meat has the right taste
whether we died in agony
slowly or in haste
they are just not worried
and in fact they look away
we suffer in such silence
yes its us,and we pay

and so now there’s now an army
of animal rights souls who
take on the role of angels
and follow us they do
they might me doctors or writers
or nurses any one
who still has some compassion
and is not numbed out and dumb

who doesn’t get drugged out of their mind
or drinks into their sea
who still has all their faculties
and can spare a thought for me
and others in this predicament
consigned to death somewhere
or thrown out on the icy streets
where humans are unfair

the angels come and help us
they call it animal rights
they sign our petitions
and get better conditions
and deal with all the shites
