Cows and calves

Giving birth

on God’s  earth

and having the calf taken away

the rape the nine long months of waiting

The birth inside of course creating

the milk to feed

the farmer who

steals the  calf away

tis true

a strong bond

develops, they

suffer in the extreme

they say

crying out wondering where

the calf has gone

mothers aware

snuggling up and smooching long

honestly so much is wrong

the calf is taken

so humans can

be sold the milk

to be drunk by man

a cow lives maybe 40 years

in captivity possibly 4

Milked to  death  and sent away

for meat and for leather  so they say

The smell of blood cows are frightened by

sensing death and fear it’s high

in their psyche that avid stench

and from life  that final   wrench

blooding out the long long moo

hung up and murdered in full view.

seeing a friend in this parlours state

snd hearing the slaughter-man berate

a friend already too much grief

which inevitably is beyond belief.
