Being tiny
Being golden
Being joyful through
And through
Such fulfilment
And exaltation
Doing what we do
Millions of us born today
Inside the warm room where
We are then sexed purposefully
And then comes the despair
We are men
Its a patriarchal place
So all looks good
Lets join the big conveyor
Of course we know we should
Off it seems to happy land
Where all good chickens go
Down the ramp to God knows where
All part of the flow
Straight into the steel teeth
That crush us up to mush
Suddenly we are alive
Then in one foul rush
Crushed in to little pieces
We are a dead heap
Thats our incarnation
From now on in we sleep
The ladies They go onto
Cages
Hearts still beating though
After a few weeks of this
They will be killed we know
A chickens life is mayhem
Its suffering and pain
Its holed up in some prison
And to not see light again
A few weeks of this awfulness
And a blade across their throat
Their heads torn off their bodies strung
Who on earth can dote
On such a death as we have had
The devil and his breed
Born to die
One question why
Because they had no need
We were clearly surplus
Male chicks don’t lay eggs
It was much cheaper to kill us
Crush our little legs
Send us off to the rainbow bridge
As fast as we could go
Crushed to mush now then hush
Don’t let the people know
