England’s Green and pleasant land or is it anymore

the corporate takeover began

some 50 years ago

Britains green and pleasant land

received

not the boost that really it should have done

I know

which would have made me

so much more relieved

The factory farm became the unit

needed

to supply the supermarket

giants who

had stolen business from the little shops

around the place

and now what they were really trying

to do

was create a massive buying

structure

threatening  producers

who at that time had threatened little shops

now their power  was forced away

as the supermarkets grew

and put pressure then on prices

which the public never knew

animals became commodities

farms were taken over

the green grass and the

idyllic scenes of animals in clover

were replaced by concentration camps

by reasons to increase

margins by begrudging those sweet

animals their peace

rumination thts was with the sunshine on their backs

was cancelled it was concrete stalls

and repeated attacks

abuse and hours of terror

cruelty galore

the voiceless they were suffering

like they never had before

every one of them took a hit

pigs and sheep and cows

ducks and chickens suffered

death rates rose, they house

hundreds packed together

like a rush hour train they live

de beaked de tailed and castrated

without painkillers

to give

such surgical operations to labourers

it  does mean

more margin for whoever

but the systems

were obscene

abuse is really widespread

frustration and lack of pay

long hours and  poor conditions

means the animals must obey

the animals must expect abuse

expect the cruelty

their lives are feeling evilness

in their sad obscurity

from birth to death

its purgatory

in karmic overdrive

many of the sweetest souls

just cannot survive

they end up lame or quivering

on their faeces ridden floor

covered in maggots and crying

like they never  did before

this is the price of supermarkets

who fight among themselves

flexing their languid muscles

and filling up their shelves

with produce and such  cruelty

such agony and pain

whilst abusing the environment

with the planet  under strain

palm oil pesticides GMO’s

Agent Orange, we

see not only animals dying

but of course the Bee

this vile commercial outcome

this gigantic corporate scheme

annihilated corner shops

and became the darkest dream

we are all taken for granted

oh we get loads of choice

but actually in reality

we don’t have a voice

the animals are threatened

they are slaughtered in great pain

and from birth to death

its hell on earth

so the bully boys gain

blood and guts and snot and everything else  besides

are taken from these animals

and we take  that  in our strides

we close our ears and eyes

and hearts

and just demand to know

when things are getting cheaper

expecting the hen to crow

but the stranglehold is

almost

complete and what we see

is horrific in the world of animals rights

and accordingly

the public seems so au fait

to the present dark regime

and torture is now everywhere

its become a real black stream

there are  some angels  out there

animals rights souls who

and to fight their corner day and night

its what they  try to do

what St George did to the dragon

but its very very hard

for the corporate fists are many

and there’s only one, AR bard
