Having been in cages all our life<\/p>\n
treading on each other<\/p>\n
every day<\/p>\n
feeling those wire floors<\/p>\n
rips our feet to shreds<\/p>\n
the smell the blood the snot<\/p>\n
the way we pay<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
our feathers ripped and torn<\/p>\n
and friends here dying<\/p>\n
our food was very poor<\/p>\n
and maggots came<\/p>\n
now to have our freedom<\/p>\n
and be in a nice shed<\/p>\n
and walk out in the snow<\/p>\n
our hearts aflame<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
to feel the white snow on our feet<\/p>\n
its gentle<\/p>\n
its wet and cold<\/p>\n
but gentle I can say<\/p>\n
the wind gets up<\/p>\n
and really puffs our feathers<\/p>\n
but freedom is the dream<\/p>\n
and its ours today<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
that ghastly place<\/p>\n
the smell it got inside of us<\/p>\n
we coudn’t even lay down<\/p>\n
for a while<\/p>\n
other birds would peck us<\/p>\n
sheer frustration<\/p>\n
and the men there<\/p>\n
anytime they could defile<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
us and did<\/p>\n
real brutes to us<\/p>\n
those humans<\/p>\n
but now we have been rescued<\/p>\n
and we know<\/p>\n
there are some lovely humans<\/p>\n
not all of them are crap<\/p>\n
so being out there<\/span><\/p>\n in the lovely snow<\/p>\n <\/p>\n today \u00a0has given us<\/p>\n something else to think about<\/p>\n flapping our wings<\/p>\n and stretching our legs<\/p>\n feels great<\/p>\n our minds are being cleansed<\/p>\n of all those cages<\/p>\n and I suppose in essence<\/p>\n it was good we had to wait<\/p>\n <\/p>\n for now we feel remarkable and comforted<\/p>\n to be around this barn and know we can<\/p>\n walk about whenever we feel we want to<\/p>\n free range and not be harmed by any man<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Having been in cages all our life treading on each other every day feeling those wire floors rips our feet to shreds the smell the blood the snot the way we pay our feathers ripped and torn and … Continue reading
