Food standards advise
the deaths that we hear
hundreds of horses
are murdered
their fear
these intelligent creatures
led to their death
maligned by racing
they sacrifice breath
trained out of existence
run over the miles
over the fences
this torture it riles
even the innocent
even the calm
598 horses were killed
they met their god
all that harm
Racing is ugly
Racing for kicks
running the furlongs
and jumping the sticks
whipping their poor backs
cracking their head
what with the glyphosate
many are dead
it’s not a sport
no nothing is fair
they train like the clappers
nothing does compare
they lose even once
and the whip hand is felt
no prize money earned
their future is dealt
a blow to the slaughterhouse
thats where they go
only five years
in real life that’s low
but they are killed
For horse meat
racers adorn
AT the cemetery gardens
Their saddles they pawn.
is fair
