Slaughterhouses of horror

A halal house of horror
For Sheep and lambs we see
Footage of such awfulness
We can feel the agony
These are little babies
Herded to the door
Suffering true heartache
Like they never had before

We have rules and standards
But the inconsistency
The film that was shot
Is upsetting
It is brutality
Truly a waking nightmare
Of anguish angst and pain
TheY are trying to escape
We can hear their dire refrain

Misery apparent
Frighteningly so
Supposedly controlled we hear
But they just don’t seem to know
Or feel the animals wretchedness
Leading to despair
Being yanked around their necks
And manhandled everywhere

Noisy laughing tormentors
Imagine the distress
Whether you eat meat or do not eat meat
All should now confess
Empathy is neeDed
Compassion has to be
The infliction of such horror
And such anxiety

Isn’t what the laws say
And perpetrators must
Be removed from the areas
It clearly is unjust
Peering through deaths door
With others crying at your feet
Such chagrin is dreadful
Just to enjoy their meat

The unpleasantness is futile
Inflicted in our name
Those of us who need the dead flesh
Or that be our claim
Yes I am a vegan
Of many a long year
The demonstrated agony
To me is very clear

The footage is unwatchable
Their murmurs and their cries
Watching them and hearing them
In spirit it defies
All logic of regulation
It’s intolerable for me
Unbearable to imagine
Unbearable
Unbearable
