they cannot survive
When buried alive
Imagine their thoughts
As the farmer escorts
These beautiful beasts
Into hell and the soil
Shovel after shovel
Hearts bursting they toil
To get out of this pit
Frightened as hell
They were alive
Breathe in and the smell of burning fear
becomes tragically inevitable
