Ungulates deserve better understanding than Factory Farmers are prepared to give or know about

Man talks of humanity
as such what of profanity
it wells up in his being
when faced with pigs
for he
I see factory farmers
more as pig embalmers
what do they know of life
and living
of love and care
and of course giving

a period for true gestation
when a sow relives creation
what she gets is tough and sad
a terribly testing time
forcibly imprisoned
and made to face the grime
of eating, defecating
and sleeping in that place
which goes against the peccaries
whole philosophy the disgrace

that she would feel inside
her very being cannot be
imagined
and the bloody factory
is blase to it too
what would be a sense
of outrage honestly heartfelt
to now do what she must do
wallowing in mud is not
a practice from the pen
its a cooling that pigs undertake
because of course its when
in hot conditions they need
cooling down and sweating they
have not got the glands for it
so mud helps them to stay
cool,do we appreciate
how clean a pig can be
far from it factory farmers
their habits are filthy
imposing such a principle
on ungulates they show
to any thinking person
that they just don’t
want to know

and so the sow must
undergo confinement
at a time
when she is so uncomfortable
lying in her slime
and give birth to her
litter and feel man’s
ignorant trait
and she really cannot
feel fulfilled
in such a tortured state

gestation crates invented
by corrupt intelligence
upsetting and disturbing
makes no honest sense
yes! its about money
how many souls can be
packed into a given space
of sick adversity

and yes lots more
but profit, that money after all
notwithstanding a pregnant mother
no one hears her call
and call she must
her desperation heartfelt
but you see
with supermarkets unbelievable power
it has to be

margins squeezed inexorably
the factory farming mob
are squeezed into a corner
who then dare they rob
the sad sick soul commodity
the pig yes it’ll squeal
but nobody will hear it
and it’ll be somebody’s meal

and this is what is happening
when these vile crates are used
Sows are being regularly
terribly abused
they cry out but who hears them
nobody there cares
margins are the answers
feelings now who shares

feelings not the bankers
nobody does care
the public are now sold on price
there’s bogofs everywhere
and so the poor sow suffers
and then her litter too
and its happening and happening
and really its down to you

because we can together change it
we just need to want to
