\/>\nIn the absence of markets<br \/>\nFor them theres no future<br \/>\nOnly the sums<\/p>\n<p>One loses or makes<br \/>\nEmotional candour<br \/>\nFor Those dealing in facts<br \/>\nWhy would they pander<br \/>\nTo Animal Rights<br \/>\nIts far simpler to say<br \/>\nThey have no rights<br \/>\nAnd for that they must pay<\/p>\n<p>Millions of squeakers<br \/>\nChicks with attitude<br \/>\nBreak out of their shells<br \/>\nThe force does exude<br \/>\nCreation is powerful<br \/>\nThe  male energy shines<br \/>\nThe emotional state<br \/>\nThere are so many signs<\/p>\n<p>Explaining the reasoning<br \/>\nBut corporately<br \/>\nChicks have no value<br \/>\nAnd thus cannot be<br \/>\nMale chicks don&#8217;t lay<br \/>\nThe dictum today<br \/>\nThere is nothing ahead<br \/>\nThey are already dead<\/p>\n<p>Consigned to the grave<br \/>\nNobody to save<br \/>\nThe corporate wheel<br \/>\nIs not how you feel<br \/>\nIts all about money<br \/>\nThe bottom line<br \/>\nThe margin the profit<br \/>\nRight down the line<\/p>\n<p>Its very competitive<br \/>\nAnd wanton regard<br \/>\nFor the true economics<br \/>\nMakes everything hard<br \/>\nDecisions are vital<br \/>\nSo the sickle does fall<br \/>\nAnd male chicks are the victims<br \/>\nUnseen by us all<\/p>\n<p>Trillions of heart beats<br \/>\nAre silenced each day<br \/>\nThe squeak from the beak<br \/>\nHeralds their dismay<br \/>\nEither sent by conveyor<br \/>\nTo the rendering store<br \/>\nAnd crushed into soup<br \/>\nWhich egg eaters ignore<\/p>\n<p>Or thrown into black plastic sacks<br \/>\nAnd just left<br \/>\nFor the hundreds and thousands<br \/>\nTo become bereft<br \/>\nIn the vital oxygen<br \/>\nThat we all must share<br \/>\nIf we are to live<br \/>\nIf we are to care<\/p>\n<p>This is the policy<br \/>\nThis makes most sense<br \/>\nTo the bankers those wankers<br \/>\nEmotionally dense<br \/>\nThe great boards of psychopaths<br \/>\nRunning it all<br \/>\nTheir own hearts so wizened<br \/>\nAnd so off the wall<\/p>\n<p>This is reality<br \/>\nThis is today<br \/>\nThis is production<br \/>\nThe corporate way<br \/>\nThe sword of Damocles<br \/>\nOminously<br \/>\nCuts through the gristle<br \/>\nOf insanity<\/p>\n<p>The egg board has spoken<br \/>\nCreation must be<br \/>\nOn the back seat<br \/>\nThats the certainty<br \/>\nWe are brutal and rough<br \/>\nWe maltreat and malign<br \/>\nIll natured and spiteful<br \/>\nWith their heads on the line<\/p>\n<p>The milk of human kindness<br \/>\nDried up years ago<br \/>\nOur goodness of nature<br \/>\nPhased out as we know<br \/>\nOnce we were considerate bountiful souls<br \/>\nThat was until corporate controls<br \/>\nWere put into place<br \/>\nAnd became the rule<br \/>\nThe system it weeded out<br \/>\nThe bloody fool<\/p>\n<p>A similar fate awaited those, they<br \/>\nThey got their marching orders<br \/>\nWith nothing to say<br \/>\nThere are no samaritans, not anymore<br \/>\nThats a bible story<br \/>\nFrom some years before<\/p>\n<p>The uncharitableness a wave of desire<br \/>\nJust pitilessness as the heat of the fire<br \/>\nGrows so barbarity surfaces through<br \/>\nWhat is the mass murder of innocence, who<br \/>\nWould be so vindictive ghoulish and grim<br \/>\nIt really is nothing but a bog standard whim<\/p>\n<p>Accepted by consumers as what must be done<br \/>\nTo maintain price structures  just stop<br \/>\nNo one can run<br \/>\nWith this fearful expose<br \/>\nThis terror this pain<br \/>\nOnly the sophistry of the insane<\/p>\n<p>Its illegality<br \/>\nMisfeasance too<br \/>\nIts cannot be right what the egg companies do<br \/>\nIts something so rotten such a vile disgrace<br \/>\nHow could anyone then show their face<br \/>\nThe boardrooms are dark the shareholders are dead<br \/>\nFor those making the profit it all has been said<\/p>\n<p>Before the bottom line is what its about<br \/>\nIts ethics and honour as such theres no doubt<br \/>\nSo the sweet fluffy chicks will chirp all the day<br \/>\nAll the night in their big plastic bags its the way<br \/>\nSnuffed out of existence tortured with pain<br \/>\nOver and over and over again<\/p>\n<p>Each little soul born each has the thought<br \/>\nThat his soul is perfect creation has caught<br \/>\nEach  and everyone of them to come to be<br \/>\nA chicken that lays eggs for posterity<\/p>\n<p>That is their vision that is their way<br \/>\nBut of course behind closed doors now everyday<br \/>\nTrillions exposed to the human desire<br \/>\nTo profit by creating innocent fire<br \/>\nWe are a plague in creations design<br \/>\nIf it were our fucking heads on the line<br \/>\nThen we might wake up then we might feel<br \/>\nWhat Those oceans of blood might one day
