blues"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>It has been a life of squalor<br \/>\nTotal misery and pain<br \/>\nTortured and raped my babies kidnapped<br \/>\nTime and time again<br \/>\nEmotionally I am wasted<br \/>\nAnd as frightened as I can be<br \/>\nWaiting for the slaughter truck<br \/>\nTo come and collect me<\/p>\n<p>Out of this fucking factory<br \/>\nFor once I see the sun<br \/>\nA blue sky up above me<br \/>\nI know my life is done<br \/>\nAnd  you know I do feel healthy<br \/>\nAnd have no wish to die<br \/>\nBut some supermarket wants my flesh<br \/>\nThis is the reason why<\/p>\n<p>Someone else unrelated<br \/>\nCan decide when I must die<br \/>\nSo as you fucking humans<br \/>\nCan put me in your pie<br \/>\nRoast me in your oven<br \/>\nBoil me in your pot<br \/>\nYou decide when I must die<br \/>\nAnd I don&#8217;t like that a lot<\/p>\n<p>All our life is taken from us<br \/>\nOur milk, our skin, our meat<br \/>\nYou make me work just like a slave<br \/>\nWith lousy food to eat<br \/>\nDirty rotten water<br \/>\nA house that smells like hell<br \/>\nAnd now I am off to the slaughterhouse<br \/>\nA place I hate as well<\/p>\n<p>I have this vile revulsion<br \/>\nI have nightmares about this place<br \/>\nIt is an abomination<br \/>\nSuch a dark disgrace<br \/>\nA lot of real ill feeling<br \/>\nAbout the people there<br \/>\nThe murdering scum forever numb<br \/>\nAll terribly unaware<br \/>\nOf the kind of pain they put us through<br \/>\nIts abhorrent to me<br \/>\nTo feel spurned by the farmers<br \/>\nI am sure you would agree<\/p>\n<p>This is life the only life I ever<br \/>\nCan expect<br \/>\nAnd I am slave of the monster race<br \/>\nAnd their virus does infect<br \/>\nMe right down to my lowest thoughts<br \/>\nAnd right up to my brain<br \/>\nHuman beings are repellant<br \/>\nAnd bloody insane<br \/>\nAny chance to harm us<br \/>\nThey belt us with a broom<br \/>\nA shovel or perhaps a stick<br \/>\nAnd enter my womb<br \/>\nWith arms and sticks such pressure<br \/>\nSuch evil it&#8217;s not fair<br \/>\nNo respect for female cows<br \/>\nIt really drives us spare<\/p>\n<p>And here we are at the abattoir<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s a great big ghastly place<br \/>\nVery smelly you feel the blood<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s straight in your face<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s like a mist the taste is there<br \/>\nOf others animals who<br \/>\nHave been killed and their essence<br \/>\nIs now all over you<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s the psychic messages<br \/>\nThen there&#8217;s the sounds we hear<br \/>\nThe screams the guttural remonstrations<br \/>\nThat induce each tear<br \/>\nWe are not ones,  for crying<br \/>\nBut all that background sound<br \/>\nGets into your heart strings<br \/>\nAnd your bloody nearly drowned<\/p>\n<p>Then there&#8217;s the smell of dying<br \/>\nCan you imagine that<br \/>\nThe juices and the fear itself<br \/>\nEach knows where they are at<br \/>\nThey shit  themselves a token left<br \/>\nBehind, that last discharge<br \/>\nThe stench of death is everywhere<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s when it&#8217;s very large<br \/>\nIn your thought it&#8217;s happening<br \/>\nHoisted on one leg<br \/>\nUp you go the gantry creaks<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s as if you want to beg<br \/>\nFront legs they tie together<br \/>\nOn the powerful chain<br \/>\nAnd there you hang and rock a bit<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s when you know it&#8217;s all in vain<\/p>\n<p>You remember all your children&#8217;s faces<br \/>\nYou carried them after all<br \/>\nYou saw them for a fleeting time<br \/>\nWhen they  came to call<br \/>\nSo you remember each of them<br \/>\nYou  remember their last cries<br \/>\nAs they were hauled away from you<br \/>\nAnd especially the guys<br \/>\nWere then stomped on in front of you<br \/>\nYou saw your babies die<br \/>\nYou heard their  bones crack painfully<br \/>\nAnd of course asked yourself why<\/p>\n<p>And now it&#8217;s your time, your time<br \/>\nThey hose down all the blood<br \/>\nAnother cow was hanging where you are hanging<br \/>\nWhere you are hanging and her blood<br \/>\nRushed out like a torrent, all over the wall<br \/>\nAll that life force all that qi<br \/>\nReleased by that violent ghoul<\/p>\n<p>A last growl for humanity<br \/>\nIt comes out really rough<br \/>\nThe chains are creaking all about<br \/>\nAlready there&#8217;s enough<br \/>\nFear around to shit yourself<br \/>\nBut somehow you hold it in<br \/>\nUpside down I am upside down<br \/>\nAnd your<br \/>\nfucking world looks grim<\/p>\n<p>I remember the love  I felt for my<br \/>\nCalves if only  fleetingly<br \/>\nEach one had that peculiar gait<br \/>\nAnd a massive love for me<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s strange how a mother feels it<br \/>\nBut you do you know it&#8217;s right<br \/>\nThis is what I remembered<br \/>\nAs he turned off my light<\/p>\n<p>My eyes were rolling everywhere<br \/>\nTaking in the last<br \/>\nMoments of my existence<br \/>\nNow that my dye was cast<br \/>\nThe ghoul was honing up his blade<br \/>\nI expected the worst<br \/>\nAnd he shoved the blade up under me<br \/>\nAnd my whole throat it just burst<\/p>\n<p>The pain it was excruciating<br \/>\nThe blood hot from my soul<br \/>\nGushed out with tremendous force<br \/>\nOut of this great hole<br \/>\nCarrying flesh and sinew<br \/>\nThe sound was really vile<br \/>\nI could hear myself now dying<br \/>\nAnd that&#8217;s hard to reconcile<\/p>\n<p>The haughtiness of this monster<br \/>\nThis human at my feet<br \/>\nWielding a stainless weapon<br \/>\nOne of the masked elite<br \/>\nA cockiness a brashness<br \/>\nWhistling away<br \/>\nAnd there I was  spread eagled<br \/>\nIn an advanced stage so they say<\/p>\n<p>Opened to the elements<br \/>\nStill slightly aware<br \/>\nMost of my blood had left me<br \/>\nMost of it I did share<br \/>\nWith the floor the walls the ceiling<br \/>\nThe ghoul who stood below<br \/>\nHe had caught some of it<br \/>\nWhen it started to flow<\/p>\n<p>These ghouls they love destruction<br \/>\nThe execution phase<br \/>\nYou can see it on their faces<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s with them all their days<br \/>\nThe final stroke they love it<br \/>\nMy last cough the last breath<br \/>\nThese bastards they are joyous<br \/>\nThat they have cause our death<br \/>\nthe fusillade of spattering<br \/>\nThe shambles of the soul<br \/>\nExposing all my inner parts<br \/>\nFor them truly their goal<br \/>\nHomicidal maniacs<br \/>\nBloody thirsty deviants they<br \/>\nAre no different from the vultures<br \/>\nWho tear the flesh away<\/p>\n<p>Behind the walls of sin<br \/>\nWe hang our shadows always there<br \/>\nOur productive cycle lost and gone<br \/>\nIn the filthy air<br \/>\nOnce a feminist in form<br \/>\nNow a limbless lump<br \/>\nI bet they feel so manly<br \/>\nAs they sexually dump<\/p>\n<p>Our hearts our lungs our sexual organs<br \/>\nInto their bloodied bin<br \/>\nThese surgeons out of hell itself<br \/>\nThese rotten men of sin<br \/>\nSlicing through our precious skin<br \/>\nInto our inner soul<br \/>\nEcstatic at our passing<br \/>\nHaving taken the role<\/p>\n<p>And soon no doubt you carnivores<br \/>\nWill choose me off some tray<br \/>\nIn the supermarket where you live<br \/>\nNot  far away<br \/>\nSee my flesh my inner workings<br \/>\nWaiting there for you<br \/>\nTo get your teeth and your fleshy tongue<br \/>\nTo taste my flavour to<\/p>\n<p>To fill your guts with what I was<br \/>\nTo suck upon my bone<br \/>\nAnd feel the fat soon congregate<br \/>\nOn your organs,  to groan<br \/>\nCow like as you climb the stairs<br \/>\nTo reach your evening meal<br \/>\nCarrying the flesh of mine<br \/>\nOnly you know how that does feel<\/p>\n<p>Dead to the world the maggots rise<br \/>\nTo chomp their way through me<br \/>\nAnd now you too must share  each course<br \/>\nWith the bloated grubs who be<br \/>\nResident inside my flesh already waiting there<br \/>\nAnd now the heat will melt their fat<br \/>\nBut you will not be aware<\/p>\n<p>You will add the ketchup and spicy sauce<br \/>\nThe gravy and the salt<br \/>\nAnd all of that will mask the tastes<br \/>\nYou will not cry or halt<br \/>\nThe digestion of my body<br \/>\nThe maggots and my blood<br \/>\nMy death is but a memory<br \/>\nCaught in the morning flood<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has been a life of squalor Total misery and pain Tortured and raped my babies kidnapped Time and time again Emotionally I am wasted And as
