farming it is harming
cattle
thats for sure
excuses are the abuses
its really like a war
of the vilest kind of attrition
Which countermands the cure
animals kept in feed lots
in dirt bowls so many more
forced to stand together
cajoled in many ways
fed on grains and fescue
because of course it pays
in dead weight and the cost ratio
its really a dity game
and with extremes environmentally
its an uncreated game
the great error of terror
resistance goes away
adverseness and calamity
where the animals do pay
thousands have just perished
they couldnt stand the heat
more likely if you ask me
it is what they eat
science into muscle in to profit
at the stall
is the costly acreage
the feed lot one and all
hundreds cooped up together
on the flat dry soil
no true grass to turn to cud
it does make our blood boil
just because its cheaper
and there is money to be had
it makes no odds for what we see
in Kansas is so bad
excuses become abuses
weakness it does show
intensive concentration camps
where actual care is low
disrespect is common place
and animals do feel
they are entirely sensitive
and very very real
of course the heat is cumulative
when its night and day
but feed is so important
with extremes the victims pay
excuses lead to abuses
arrogance as well
ignorance amongst farmers
Its their poor cows, the hell
they subject them to, is awful
and some give up and die
standing on these dust bowls
under a raging sky .
or it could be much more ominous
down to sabotage
Toxins in the water
the mass deaths have been large
which will affect the markets
prices will be high
de pop the agenda
and the people don’t know why
its the cabalistic mob
with their fingers in the pie
