Gestation crates
\nAre just about pig sized
\nAnd were invented
\nBy a psycho case for certain
\nA selfish and demented
\nFarmer who was after
\nCramming more sows in his barn
\nThe poor souls couldn\u2019t turn around
\nIt\u2019s sounds like some sick yarn<\/p>\n
But it is wholly happening
\nThe wickedness of those
\nWho artificially inseminate
\nAnd of course the sow
\nThen grows
\nIniquity seems to me
\nSinfulness as well
\nAs she is getting bigger
\nIn her private HELL<\/p>\n
Waiting for her babies
\nShe will have to be
\nIn one spot just lying there
\nThe farmers selfishly
\nExpect through pain and suffering
\nThat she must just lay still
\nWhen she gets uncomfortable
\nAs she surely will<\/p>\n
She just has to tough it out
\nSuffer night and day
\nShe cannot sweat if she is hot
\nSo she is made to pay
\nHeavily she is feeling
\nDisrespected she
\nIs humiliated
\nAnd disparaged constantly<\/p>\n
Oh yes she gets sarcasm
\nTaunts and jibes all day
\nEven if she is careful
\nA kick or two will pay
\nThere is no code of honour
\nShe has no rights at all
\nThe spiteful ness of farmers
\nReally does appal<\/p>\n
The thankless task of pregnancy
\nThe sadistic treatment they
\nMight expect it\u2019s unrelenting
\nEvery single day
\nThere is no consolation
\nNot a smidgeon of sympathy
\nJust these fucking tyrants
\nThese butcher boys who be<\/p>\n
Employed to feed and water
\nHooligans in fact
\nNot a jot of wisdom
\nAnd now they react
\nTo a pregnant sow in trouble
\nIs hit her with a stick
\nNo tender mercies in the barn
\nEven when she\u2019s sick<\/p>\n
Irritable and impatient
\nThey swear and roughly move
\nPiqued and galled about everything
\nShe can\u2019t be in the groove
\nShe is shitting where she is laying
\nSomething pigs hate so
\nThey never mess in their living space
\nThey would rather try not go<\/p>\n
So the stress and strain
\nThey put on her
\nShe has miracles inside
\nHer babies are developing
\nSo she has to bide
\nHer time
\nRelax and try to
\nNot get overly pained
\nAnd up against hostility
\nReally no one\u2019s gained<\/p>\n
Anything but terror
\nForfeiting self respect
\nLying in her intimate
\nHow can she correct
\nWhat she does and how she feels
\nWith anger all around
\nSuch a domineering attitude
\nHow they try to hound<\/p>\n
Her she is so frustrated
\nCries her tears of woe
\nTries to make them realise
\nShe wishes now to go
\nTo pig heaven in a moment
\nThis hell hole where she be
\nLacks wonder the indifference
\nShe now feels constantly<\/p>\n
Defeated by the size of cage
\nHer desperation shows
\nA hopeless situation
\nBut nobody else knows
\nHow cynical and disconsolate
\nAll the shows do feel
\nIt\u2019s sweaty and it\u2019s smelly
\nIt\u2019s really a bad deal<\/p>\n
Gestation crates are preposterous
\nEven an obscenity
\nThe dreary stuffy insipidness
\nThe terrible monotony
\nOf lying on one\u2019s stomach
\nEvery single hour
\nThe dullness the monotony
\nIt really makes one vow<\/p>\n
To bite or just be obstinate
\nChallenge those who try
\nNot just take it lying down
\nStand one\u2019s ground for why
\nOtherwise they get to you
\nDefiance just could be
\nBetter in the long run
\nWhatever the difficulty<\/p>\n
It really does get boring
\nNothing to do all day
\nAnd dormancy is unhealthy
\nStaying stationary
\ncan affect the circulation
\nAnd sickness then can be
\nCausing bumps and ruptures
\nAnd bouts of agony<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
