see<br \/>\nIts the green grass and the wild flowers<br \/>\nConjured up and free<br \/>\nHealthful and salubrious<br \/>\nNutritious through and through<br \/>\nFree ranging birds are happy<br \/>\nThats everybodys view<\/p>\n<p>But actually the camera<br \/>\nSees differences I hear<br \/>\nFar from just free ranging<br \/>\nAnother tale is clear<br \/>\nA kind of vile regression<br \/>\nDefilement everywhere<br \/>\nDirty dark dire dreary sheds<br \/>\nA place of such despair<br \/>\nHappiness in tatters<br \/>\nFeatherless birds heads down<br \/>\nBeaks are mutilated<br

ruin<br \/>\nPerilousness and death<br \/>\nAnything but happy<br \/>\nIn the darkness stress<br \/>\nAnd terrible frustration<br \/>\nTottering, shakey souls<br \/>\nSuffering like crazy<br

recuperation<br \/>\nIts more a spacial mean<br \/>\nCombative and war like<br \/>\nNot something that was known<br \/>\nIn terms of happy free range<br \/>\nA fruitless listless day<br \/>\nJust a continual struggle<br \/>\nThe nest boxes I\u2019d say<br \/>\nWhere dead hens were seen rotting<br \/>\nWhere maggots took their time<br \/>\nLaying eggs here in the stinky<br \/>\nMisery and slime<br \/>\nIll-fated and unlucky<br \/>\nHapless and forlorn<br \/>\nTo actually call them happy<br \/>\nTo imagine that fresh Dawn<br \/>\nOf awakening, of happiness, of sunlight<br \/>\nEverywhere<br \/>\nAll born under an evil star<br \/>\nA Calamitous despair<br \/>\nKeen to buy these eggs imagining<br \/>\nThe happiness they said<br \/>\nPaying extra for them<br \/>\nI know most will see red<br \/>\nAs to how they have been treated<br \/>\nIn dire straits afterall<br \/>\nThat pound of flesh they are taking<br \/>\nWould drive folks up the wall.<\/p>\n<p>Just a bunch of liars<br \/>\nThe inflexibility<br \/>\nCallous not deserving<br \/>\nAnything from me<br \/>\nAustere and spartan areas<br \/>\nTyrannous and wrong<br \/>\nPrisoners in bondage<br \/>\nThey just do not belong<br \/>\nIn squalor and deterioration<br \/>\nLike vagrants everyone<br \/>\nImprisoned in the dankness<br \/>\nUnable to feel the sun<br \/>\nRagged with depression<br \/>\nPaupers everyone<br \/>\nA penny pinching management<br \/>\nWhen the day is done<\/p>\n<p>Their uncharitable conclusion<br \/>\nScrimping scraping stinginess<br \/>\nCovetous and profit mad<br \/>\nPennywise and miserly<br \/>\nWhat I see here makes me sad<br \/>\nThe ammonia fIlled lungs of mine<br \/>\nAching with despair<br \/>\nClearly sharing what those hens feel<br \/>\nFighting for clean air<br \/>\nSuffering a detachment<br \/>\nFrom life on earth today<br \/>\nHappy chickens happy eggs<br \/>\nJust happy to lay<br \/>\nGreat value and good reason<br \/>\nFor customers to pay<br \/>\nBut the harshness and the Roughness<br \/>\nTakes all that away<\/p>\n<p>Paying for unpleasantness<br \/>\nLoathsomeness and pain<br \/>\nThe bitter pill the gall<br \/>\nThe wormwood the disdain<br
