through<br \/>\nInside these vast enclosures are cows and calves<br \/>\nAnd they<br \/>\nHave a tiny port hole to inspect<br \/>\nThe light of day<\/p>\n<p>Their eyes are big and poignant<br \/>\nSad and full of tears<br \/>\nThis is truly horrible<br \/>\nUnpardonable their fears<br \/>\nAre evident before us<br \/>\nWe peer into that space<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s wicked and it&#8217;s brutal<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s honestly a disgrace<\/p>\n<p>The driver has a job to do<br \/>\nIts there before his eyes<br \/>\nSomehow he is detached from what he is doing<br \/>\nTo realise<br \/>\nThe pain for its significant<br \/>\nUpon the ungulate<br \/>\nThe female spectrum suffers<br \/>\nWhat is to be their fate<\/p>\n<p>Those eating meat lack conscience<br \/>\nThey are detached as well<br \/>\nThey leave it to the slaughter men<br \/>\nWho have to live with hell<br \/>\nDispassionate and indifferent<br \/>\nTo what now lies before<br \/>\nThe killing and the murdering<br \/>\nAnd the all out stench of war<\/p>\n<p>This is the new holocaust<br \/>\nSo different from before<br \/>\nHere we see them slaughtered<br \/>\nRapidly their gore<br \/>\nIs collected  and deported in rendering<br \/>\nTo be<br \/>\nTaken to another place<br \/>\nAnd turned into a key<br \/>\nIngredient in pet food<br \/>\nThis is what they do<br \/>\nAll those sweet live cows<br \/>\nWho stood in fear<br \/>\nAre good and true<\/p>\n<p>Now it&#8217;s guts and garters<br \/>\nTrachea&#8217;s and hide<br \/>\nAnd they all were innocent<br \/>\nThe carnivores have lied<br \/>\nThey tell themselves they need the protein<br \/>\nAnd cows just have to go<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s the way we kill them<br \/>\nFrightening them so<br \/>\nWe are very spiteful<br \/>\nVindictive and hostile too<br \/>\nThese are affectionate mothers<br \/>\nWho love a bit like you<\/p>\n<p>So don&#8217;t malign their honour<br \/>\nNever take away<br \/>\nTheir benevolence and their goodness<br \/>\nAnd their tenderness for they<br \/>\nAre mothers they have borne their calves<br \/>\nAnd had them stolen too<br \/>\nWith all the worst intentions<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s what the dairies<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s become an irritation<br \/>\nAn exasperation they<br \/>\nSuffer just like children<br \/>\nWhen their lives are lost they pay<br \/>\nTheir nausea apparent<br \/>\nDisillusioned they<br \/>\nWait with their hearts pounds<br \/>\nFor they fear it is the day<br \/>\nThe day they meet their maker<br \/>\nAnd argue with him why<br \/>\nHe ever brought them to this hell<br \/>\nAnd all of them do cry<br \/>\nReaching notoriety and abject ness<br \/>\nAs they do<br \/>\nIndignant to the scandal<br \/>\nDemeaning through and through<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s just a war of nerves for them<br \/>\nGoose flesh everywhere<br \/>\nThe bogeyman he cometh<br \/>\nWith his quiver of despair<br \/>\nThey stand in trepidation<br \/>\nPanic stricken they<br \/>\nJittery and jumpy<br \/>\nAt why they are made to pay<br \/>\nLead into the factory<br \/>\nTo the sounds of cries of woe<br \/>\nTo the smell of blood and thunder<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s not where they want to go<br \/>\nBut they are prodded and their tails pulled<br \/>\nThey are kicked and frightened so<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s ludicrous to imagine<br \/>\nThat souls would never know<\/p>\n<p>Of course they feel the anguish<br \/>\nThey know what we will do<br \/>\nBesides the cries of others<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s manner less and blue<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s un picturesque and<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s indelicate to see<br \/>\nThe mutilated bodies<br \/>\nForbidding tragically<\/p>\n<p>Tear shedding no one notices<br \/>\nThe querulous display<br \/>\nThe doleful eyes of many<br \/>\nWho bemoan the day<br \/>\nThe painful ness<br \/>\nThe affliction<br \/>\nA contradiction too<br \/>\nOf how a mother should be treated<br \/>\nAnd rewarded for what they do<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s intolerable behaviour<br \/>\nThey are martyr&#8217;s everyone<br \/>\nDisenchanted by it all<br \/>\nWhat now have we done<br \/>\nBrought them to adversity<br \/>\nHarrowed on the rack<br \/>\nCondemned them to their crucifixion<br \/>\nAnd our vile attack<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s total humiliation<br \/>\nThat really hurts the soul<br \/>\nThe aweless confrontation<br \/>\nIn the light exists the troll<br \/>\nWho will cut their throats<br \/>\nAnd bleed them<br \/>\nThat ghoul that cavalier<br \/>\nThat outrageously insolent blackguard<br \/>\nWho cuts from ear to ear<\/p>\n<p>As flashbacks come to vision<br \/>\nThe indignation feels<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s now too late to protest<br \/>\nSuch disparagement reveals<br \/>\nA kind of saddened diatribe<br \/>\nAnd condemnation for<br \/>\nThe carnivore who buys our bits<br \/>\nFrom the superstore<\/p>\n<p>And justifies the murdering<br \/>\nThe slaughter and it all<br \/>\nBy wanting to feed their families<br \/>\nWho have an honest call<br \/>\nOn who we are and why we are here<br \/>\nTo be killed so you can eat<br \/>\nTo exonerate your cravings<br \/>\nAnd liberate your heat<\/p>\n<p>Our blameless ness is nothing<br \/>\nOur playfulness is seen<br \/>\nOur harmlessness is a virtue<br \/>\nAkin to some machine<br \/>\nYou are not responsible<br \/>\nFor how we are put away<br \/>\nYou are above suspicion<br \/>\nAs we reach judgement
