Dairy Milk

To think In his day and age
Families imagine
The poor cows in barns somewhere
Still provide food
Not from lush fields
But forced to greater yields
There was a time
When farmers had practised
Grazing in summer
And in Winter inside
But intensive reckoning
Seemingly mattered
Zero grazing happened
And cows became shattered

We idiots wanted cheap milk
And our mothers
That’s our bovine mothers
Were slaves to the farm
Economies of scale
Ethics were cancelled
Competition and superstores
Tended to derail

These beautiful cows
Rape racks became normal
Mothers made pregnant
Male calves were shot dead
Animals welfare went out of the window
Stretched farming systems
Thats where we’ve been lead

Fewer farm labourers
And huge farms took over
Rural communities suffered of course
A huge carbon footprint
More and more cruelty
Pollution increasing
Slurry it’s everywhere
The stench and the filth
Spreading as well
Killing the calves
Just little babies
Karma the harmer
Dairy equals HELL.
