Lame in pain and dribbling
Having aged in a short time
Sworn at beaten and left to get
Cold and frozen it’s a debt
Of humanity that we feel
As animals
We are very real
We think we share
And we care
How sad it is that you
Neglect us
I am just one animal from a farm
Being transported to my death
So you can give yourselves heart attacks much sooner
