Its easier to look away

its so much easier to look away
and get on with one’s life
now everyday
there’s lot to do
there’s lots to see
and cows in the CAFO’s
and dairy
are lost souls anyway
why would I care
I enjoy the taste
of meat so there

that’s the retort of most around
those that walk on our hallowed ground
a dominion we all hold
to kill and eat
all those sold

its easier to look away
its easier to forget they are there
but is it easier thats my question
how can you avoid despair
it must creep into your mind sometimes
surely it does when your see the trays
the sterile cuts on the shelves in town
they were once friends in so many ways

the point is we can distance ourselves
and not even see what is on the shelves
I have my life and I know how
I can just forget that cow
besides it is dead nothing I can do
to bring her back
her life is through
now she can feed me
that’s her worth
that’s why she came to this earth

besides I love the taste of meat
and the taste of cheese
and yoghurt sweet
I like milk chocolate
I like Ice cream
the fucking cow
just doesn’t seem
to be anything in all of this
when I’m eating and drinking
my days are bliss

its easier to look away
its easier to forget the day
its easier to do my thing
besides most people want to bring
something to eat be it cheese or spread
so who cares if the cow is dead

thats how they feel
the cow’s no more
once she walked about for sure
but now she’s converted in to leather to wear
and cream on my fruit
that we all share

the dairy knows this and participates
distances us and recreates
a void of course who wants to see
a cow in a field it has to be
tucked away in huge great shed
fed on soya and sometimes led
into the slaughterhouse one by one
and never ever sees the sun

thats the way its has to be
keep the cows away from me
then its easier not to think
whose milk I heat up and I drink
the calf who cares about that soul
a sacrifice that is its role
so I can taste its lovely rump
and around my body its blood can pump

butter and cream and cheese on toast
steak and chips I love a roast
its the cholesterol I hate most
but there are tablets I hear them boast
its easier to look away
its easier to forget the day
its easier if someone else can pay
its just easier okay!
