look into the eyes of those sweet golden ducks<\/p>\n
and those white bigger geese<\/p>\n
and we see<\/p>\n
some kind of vision<\/p>\n
the watery wastes<\/p>\n
but not that these birds now will be<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
in water despite their webbed feet<\/p>\n
and strong legs<\/p>\n
they are consigned to a cage<\/p>\n
manhandled not at all gently<\/p>\n
and slung into one in a rage<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
hundreds in a domed enclosure<\/p>\n
blasted with \u00a0incoming air<\/p>\n
the cages are small<\/p>\n
its not good at all<\/p>\n
its a place that just<\/p>\n
offers despair<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
no hygiene to speak of<\/p>\n
when they are force fed<\/p>\n
with mush and with seeds<\/p>\n
its not right<\/p>\n
force fed like robots<\/p>\n
not treated like souls<\/p>\n
mechanical feeding<\/p>\n
looking at goals<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
after they pant<\/p>\n
they choke<\/p>\n
and they look<\/p>\n
out of it really<\/p>\n
well I just shook<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
just felt it was inhumane<\/p>\n
what I had seen<\/p>\n
how they had suffered<\/p>\n
now how they had been<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
covered in corn mash<\/p>\n
all over them they<\/p>\n
dont get a chance<\/p>\n
to put it away<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
its all over them<\/p>\n
and pushed down their throat<\/p>\n
this isn’t feeding<\/p>\n
its torture<\/p>\n
to gloat<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
over profits from foie gras<\/p>\n
and seeing this sight<\/p>\n
brings back all the nightmares<\/p>\n
which proves its not right<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
its an ugly scene<\/p>\n
every bird every time<\/p>\n
every agonized moment<\/p>\n
the bird tries to climb<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
and is forced back down<\/p>\n
roughly<\/p>\n
and left panting there<\/p>\n
exhausted from eating<\/p>\n
are you aware?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
and can you imagine<\/p>\n
the pain they are in<\/p>\n
the gradual diseased state<\/p>\n
its a man made sin<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
webbed feet and no water<\/p>\n
just cages galore<\/p>\n
messy with stale corn<\/p>\n
thats is the score<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
they are fed like a mass forced into a bag<\/p>\n
so unlike real living birds<\/p>\n
how we lag<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
behind in compassion<\/p>\n
for life for to me<\/p>\n
we are savages clearly<\/p>\n
so heartless we be<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
after a time they select and they cart<\/p>\n
several away<\/p>\n
to the wall and they start<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
to cut their throats<\/p>\n
then hang them upside down<\/p>\n
many are kicking and bleeding<\/p>\n
their gown<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
of feathers<\/p>\n
rich crimson as they move their head<\/p>\n
blood runneth over<\/p>\n
but they ain’t dead<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
onto the conveyor<\/p>\n
passing blood dripped walls<\/p>\n
buckets of blood<\/p>\n
manned by bloody fools<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
all seeing all \u00a0 knowing<\/p>\n
but ignorant as hell<\/p>\n
this is a job that they<\/p>\n
think they do well<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
blood from their beaks<\/p>\n
still breathing we see<\/p>\n
their eyes and we look<\/p>\n
and we know they see me<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
onto a table their feathers plucked clean<\/p>\n
out onto a table cut open<\/p>\n
obscene<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
600 gram livers swollen and pink<\/p>\n
10 times the true size<\/p>\n
I am on the brink<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
of screaming<\/p>\n
of puking<\/p>\n
of crying aloud<\/p>\n
the livers in ice<\/p>\n
the workers so proud<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
the birds life till death<\/p>\n
was an ugly affair<\/p>\n
torment and torture<\/p>\n
and utter despair<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
no coming back<\/p>\n
never again<\/p>\n
not to go through<\/p>\n
such unbelievable pain<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
that is foie gras<\/p>\n
that some people eat<\/p>\n
the karma just watching<\/p>\n
is enough to unseat<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
any, \u00a0humane being<\/p>\n
who might feel the need<\/p>\n
to partake of this shit<\/p>\n
I beg you just read<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
this poem just read it<\/p>\n
digest it and see<\/p>\n
if after you have read it<\/p>\n
you dare eat it, with me<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
if you do then I hope<\/p>\n
you are dead by the morn<\/p>\n
cos Im bloody well sure<\/p>\n
you should have never been born<\/p>\n
