We are babies
\nbabies,
\na few days old
\nthat’s all
\nlost in your sodding vacuum
\nnobody to call
\nmothers lowing somewhere
\nbut I am all alone
\nthe bastards how they throw me
\nI have a broken bone<\/p>\n
already I am injured
\nwhat’s to become of me
\nI am truly innocent
\nand somehow this can’t be
\nlife
\nnot life, for goodness sake
\nthose 9 months deep inside
\nthe work of the creator
\nand all of its denied<\/p>\n
since I was born
\ninto your light
\nthe darkness of your care
\ndrained down on me
\nand startled me
\nI am now so aware<\/p>\n
this place is really
\nawful
\nthere is no love around
\nonly ugliness and egregious treatment
\nthat I’ve found
\nthey shout at us
\nthey drag us, they kick us
\nits not fair
\nit hurts, it so hurts
\nthis is awful
\nis nobody aware?<\/p>\n
I am bleeding from my nostrils
\nI am foaming from my gum
\nI am aching every muscle
\nwill, somebody come
\nand rescue me
\nand help me
\nthat’s my earnest plea
\nbut these vile trolls
\nin their dungarees
\nthey come and wallop me<\/p>\n
where is my dear mother
\nwhy did she go a way
\nI so much want to taste her milk
\nI feel so weak today
\nI cannot walk
\nmy legs are frail
\nif this is life on earth
\nhumans why do you do this to us
\nand straight after birth<\/p>\n
oh god know, he is dragging me by one leg
\nthrough the shed
\nthe concrete is scratching my soft skin
\noh god he’s hit my head
\nmy eye is really bulging
\nI feel my time has come
\na few days of this torment
\nthere must be, is there some<\/p>\n
one around to help me
\nwe are all in the same boat
\ntorn away from our mother
\nand hardly still afloat
\nanguish all is anguish
\nI am frightened I’m in pain
\nand all they do is hurt me
\nover and over again<\/p>\n
Now its to the veal crate
\nthis mechanism bare
\nthey chain me by my neck
\nI can’t move anywhere
\nI can’t sit down
\nI cannot lay
\nmy legs are burning, I
\nall I want is to close my eyes
\nand just lay down and die<\/p>\n
but they feed me slops of creamy mess
\nand hit and kick me too
\nthere’s just no let up from this torture
\nwhat am I going to do
\nhow can a baby suffer this
\nwhy does a baby need
\nto come into this fucking world
\nand have to fucking bleed<\/p>\n
these frustrated trolls
\nare all over us
\nI cannot close my eyes
\nand drift off to another place
\nno one can realise
\nhow bad it is how sad it is
\nfor little calves like me
\nwho suffer as it get tougher
\nwhy can we just get free<\/p>\n
18 weeks of this torment
\nI am really sick inside
\nanaemia and weakening
\nand just so mortified
\nhow can any human be as inhuman
\nas they are
\nthese torturer’s this CAFO camp
\nour spirits they just scar<\/p>\n
we hear a great truck rumbling
\noutside, we know our time
\nis up
\nthe chains are torn away
\nI cannot even climb
\nto my feet just 18 weeks
\nand I’m already lame
\nso I’m literally thrown
\nacross the yard
\nso everything’s the same
\nand tossed head first into the truck
\nI know my time has come
\nactually I need to go
\nyou see I am not that dumb<\/p>\n
I know what’s going to happen
\nthis dairy gave me hell
\nI stood there in my excrement
\nand everywhere did smell
\nI was burning from my urine
\nmy wounds were festering too
\nmaggots had come to sample me
\nthat’s what maggots do<\/p>\n
remember I am a baby
\nborn in a human world
\nwhere hell is all around us
\nand in your shit we’re hurled<\/p>\n
its the journey to the slaughterhouse
\nin the wagon all piled high
\nevery bend and every stop
\nwe are thrown, we slide, we die
\nwe are treated just like sacks of
\nI don’t know just sacks of coal
\nno water food or even care
\nand of course we have no goal<\/p>\n
we just want out
\nwe just want out
\njust do it, kill us, please
\nwe arrive and we’re tossed and thrown
\nand each groan
\neveryone agrees
\nwe herded into the killing room
\nand we’re stunned well some are
\nI
\nhave not been stunned
\nbut I’m hoisted with those who have been stunned
\non high<\/p>\n
and the trolls are here with their bloody knives
\nand our throats are being slashed
\nwe are rocking it is shocking
\non the gantry chains we’re bashed<\/p>\n
the world we leave is upside down
\nthe blood we leave is ours
\nour life force is departing
\nwe are losing all our powers
\nthis senseless life we came to
\nwe voiceless we now tell
\nwe veal calves will be eaten
\nand inside you we will swell<\/p>\n
for the maggots and the evil
\nand the tumult is within
\nall that tepid slop
\nwe were forced to swallow
\nfrom the bin
\nI hope in death
\nthose people
\nwho enjoy us
\non their plate
\nwill remember when the cancer
\nrips into them
\nit’s too late<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
