Why did they let my mother die?<\/p>\n
a question all might ask<\/p>\n
how did she get to this poor stage<\/p>\n
so young taken to task<\/p>\n
a cow can live for 20 years<\/p>\n
and she is barely 4<\/p>\n
but is lame and spent<\/p>\n
and broken<\/p>\n
she has been through the war<\/p>\n
the dairy was the front line<\/p>\n
the farmer the enemy<\/p>\n
he stole whatever she possessed<\/p>\n
and left her just to be<\/p>\n
what he calls a downer<\/p>\n
a soul that cannot be<\/p>\n
too tortured and too broken hearted<\/p>\n
laid out in front of me<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I am her calf, her baby<\/p>\n
she is my loving mum<\/p>\n
she was in such agony<\/p>\n
you think that we are dumb<\/p>\n
we have great expression<\/p>\n
we understand the ways<\/p>\n
its you lot<\/p>\n
you insensitive sods<\/p>\n
deep in your malaise<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
money its just money<\/p>\n
profit that is all<\/p>\n
margins common purpose<\/p>\n
your backs are at the wall<\/p>\n
and you take it out on all of us<\/p>\n
especially by mama<\/p>\n
you left her in the stable yard<\/p>\n
to die<\/p>\n
you were so far<\/p>\n
removed from us<\/p>\n
from carers<\/p>\n
from those who know the way<\/p>\n
instead you became devils<\/p>\n
in the miserable pay<\/p>\n
of the corporates<\/p>\n
who control you<\/p>\n
who blackmail you<\/p>\n
and you do<\/p>\n
exactly what they tell you<\/p>\n
you become a devil too<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I never ever drank my mothers milk<\/p>\n
which she made for me<\/p>\n
creation made it possible<\/p>\n
but you lot you did see<\/p>\n
that it all went into your kids<\/p>\n
cows milk into them<\/p>\n
all those antibiotics<\/p>\n
all that shit<\/p>\n
it all did stem<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
from greed from making margins<\/p>\n
from profit<\/p>\n
that was it<\/p>\n
you bastards let my mother die<\/p>\n
you killed her<\/p>\n
just to fit<\/p>\n
into the present paradigm<\/p>\n
the corporate world of waste<\/p>\n
a wasted life<\/p>\n
hellish strife<\/p>\n
and it must be faced<\/p>\n
we are off to the abbatoir<\/p>\n
our throats will soon be slashed<\/p>\n
and you lot drinking stolen milk<\/p>\n
your bodies are being trashed<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
and its by your own rich farmers<\/p>\n
by the corporate creed<\/p>\n
they are devils incarnate<\/p>\n
and its on you all they feed<\/p>\n
