\/>\nPurgatory day on day<br \/>\nDisharmony and so much dismay<br \/>\nMonotony, a prison cell<br \/>\nSo confined it felt like hell<br \/>\nNot thought out<br \/>\nAnd left to  be<br \/>\nFrightened really constantly<br \/>\nArtificiality industrIal depravity<br \/>\nAn inferior and defective time<br \/>\nWanting lacking, and the grime<br \/>\nAnd odour, it was anarchy<br \/>\nBedlam And just purgatory<\/p>\n<p>Friends were sickly<br \/>\nSome were dying<br \/>\nPulling out feathers<br \/>\nNo denying<br \/>\nThe state of affairs<br \/>\nWas mentally<br \/>\nDepressing anyone could see<\/p>\n<p>Littering we were never clean<br \/>\nRumpus and ruction there had been<br \/>\nEveryday in such a mess<br \/>\nFilthy and dirty I have to stress<br \/>\nCannibalism it all was there<br

warrant<br \/>\nOn our wall<\/p>\n<p>Insensitivity everywhere<br \/>\nThe human beings<br \/>\nDo not care<br \/>\nThey did not feel<br \/>\nHow could they, we<br \/>\nJust existed in a purgatory<br \/>\nBut of their making<br \/>\nFemales we<br \/>\nSuffered so much  adversity<br \/>\nCold and callous inured they<br \/>\nIgnored it all<br \/>\nAnd every day<\/p>\n<p>We got dirtier and the smell<br \/>\nPiss and poo our cage was HELL<br \/>\nBruised and pecked to kingdom come<br \/>\nScraped and shaved we all were numb<br \/>\nTormented so<br \/>\nCrick and cramp<br \/>\nReally sore in all that damp<br \/>\nGripe and throb and grate and gnaw<br \/>\nWe were victims of their war<\/p>\n<p>Fetid and foul smelling<br \/>\nThe ammonia so strong<br \/>\nWe were all but choking<br \/>\nof course all that is wrong<br \/>\nBut a chicken meant for eating<br \/>\nNeeds some good wholesome air<br \/>\nAnd food and of course water<br \/>\nBut mostly it wasn\u2019t there<\/p>\n<p>We were going to be eaten<br \/>\nOur flesh needed to be<br \/>\nWholesome at the end of it<br \/>\nInstead we were straggly<br \/>\nMany of us limping<br \/>\nOur poor legs just too weak<br \/>\nTo hold our heavy bodies up<br \/>\nNot some thing we would seek<\/p>\n<p>No sunlight and no fresh air<br \/>\nPoorly lit all day<br \/>\nUnilluminated, half dark<br \/>\nYou could say<br \/>\nYou needed  not to think at all<br \/>\nAnd for one who has ideas<br \/>\nWhat you get is anxiety<br \/>\nAnd loads and loads of tears<\/p>\n<p>The forgetfulness is criminal<br \/>\nThe carelessness is too<br \/>\nThey manhandle us and do not care<br \/>\nWhat injuries they do<br \/>\nAll of them have unseeing eyes<br \/>\nAnd hearts clearly of wood<br \/>\nTotally oblivious<br \/>\nTo treating as as good<\/p>\n<p>We have hearts and minds<br \/>\nWe have feeling<br \/>\nWe were never experiments<br \/>\n42 days of life on earth<br \/>\nIt really makes  no sense<br \/>\nTo be cruel to us<br \/>\nWhat monster would have the nerve to be<br \/>\nUnkind and discriminatory<br \/>\nEvery time they see<\/p>\n<p>The evidence is everywhere<br \/>\nThe stench you wouldn\u2019t believe<br \/>\nAnd we are going to be eaten<br \/>\nBy your children to achieve<br \/>\nSuch food the very least you would do<br \/>\nIs give a modicum of care<br \/>\nInstead of creating HELL on earth<br \/>\nAnd being unaware<\/p>\n<p>And now halal the Muslim way<br \/>\nThroats slit just like that<br \/>\nNo stunning we have certainty<br \/>\nWe now know where we are at<br \/>\nNeglected and tortured all our days<br \/>\nand murdered in cold blood<br \/>\nNo respect for life at all<br \/>\nWe just create a flood<\/p>\n<p>Of crimson plucked and ready<br \/>\nTo be eaten we presume<br \/>\n40 days of total living hell<br \/>\nJust doom and gloom<\/p>\n<p>And then it\u2019s loads of ketchup<br \/>\nSugar and colouring we<br \/>\nRealise what our fate is<br \/>\nAnd yours too actually<\/p>\n<p>The problem is when we are sat on the supermarket dish<br \/>\nOr chopped up in a some pie nobody realises how we got there<br \/>\nAnd how sad we all
