Science and Genetics be ashamed
That we
know you deal in Franken Chickens
supporting crazily
Where so many of your principles subside
Your conscientiousness it leaves you
which then marketing does hide
the evil and the shamefulness
gods creatures are made to take
its, questionable tactics
for everybody’s sake
imagining the consumers
Are they as heartless as are you
they want the chickens languishing
in terror, for to do
this cruelty behind closed doors
in smelly cages they
Grow so fast
their legs and hearts
give out
the godly way
Superseded sadly
by the margins and dismay
the inscrutable connivance
that green wash takes away
a chickens life is very short
some thirty eight days, they
In lockdown, food just thrown at them
no light no where to play
imagine that you chicken scoffers
their protein will be
sustaining you creating in you
perhaps insanity.
