Bobby calves (a secret the Dairy Industry keeps from its customers)

Foie gras is objectionable

but what of Veal then, they

are bobby calves

torn from their mums

and  the dairy does away

with them

many are slaughtered

and those that turned into veal

are tortured and often beaten

every single day

to reveal

for 5 months whilst

they are being prepared

to have milky white flesh, they

are locked away in tiny crates

they don’t see the light of day

they are fed on an iron poor diet

so their flesh stays creamy white

so they die in absolute agony

and they live well just in spite

of the cruelty and the evil

perpetrated on them,. they

get hideously treated

until their judgement day

its unbelievably nasty

and inhumane for sure

hidden away

and made to pay

and all they get is more

and more, of the same torture

its a rotten thing we do

veal calves lives are terrible

and you remain, clueless to

which makes it all worse really

for nobody does care

these babies are being tortured

and nobody is there

their mother pined for ages

and the corporates create

this hell hole for its what we want

those eating veal do rate

the tender creamy flesh

you make me puke to write this down

the improbity of all of this

its unscrupulousness

we drown

our sorrows

in our alcohol and sleep away our pain

whereas these bobby calves you eat

suffer it all again

the dairy has no conscience

its never had to say

exactly what is happening

they are  hidden away

but we now have reached

the holocaust of deaths

in all these years

millions of babies slaughtered

millions of tiny tears

bellowing through the ether

Hathor has woken  and she

wants only joy for  the little cows

and is beside herself to be

witnessing such horror

and such insensibility

from day one till they are slaughtered

its one atrocity

how these little babies

can leave the world

and feel

their incarnation was anything but

a nightmare to conceal

the primal snake drifts on wards

the stars they sparkle so

the milky way creation

is up through the clouds we know

and Hathor seeks to cherish

to protect her charges ,who

she sees as being put upon

their endurance so on view

anguish depths of misery

and dark adversity

a hopelessness

without redress

its all the babies see

and Hathor knows

the sentence

she needs to hand down to

those handlers the dairies

the consumers

now all who

must share the karmic package

for all the death they cause

she’s waited many aoens

for a long while she did pause

hopeful of a turn around

but the dairies charged a price

so high and loaded unfairly

that the time has come

the dice

are thrown and all these

profiteers

will carry the churn and see

how much the sickness will

aggravate their health

and rapidly

how they will fall from favour

how they will meet their end

how they will sink into the pit

and die without a friend

to hold their hand

or kiss their lips

or soften the great blow

that’s coming for their savagery

on the bobby calves

that flow

those sickly doleful babies

who were mortified to see

the great knife thrust into their throats

and just feel that agony
