“Gather round,
The fight’s begun
And industry has claimed round 1
They fooled us good
Now we repeat
We don’t see life – we call it meat
The family
May share the blame
They just might grasp for fear and shame
To shut us down
So they can play
Like how they’re eating’s all ok
And you? What lies
will let you sleep?
They don’t have lives they want to keep?
They don’t know sadness,
Fear or pain?
Or what we’re doing’s not insane?
I’m here asking; What do we do?
If we choose to
Live our value
We can see through
We’ve been lied to
Plied with blinded sights
That aren’t true.
Happy cows in fields a’ grazing
It’s amazing, just how clever
Never seeing their endeavors
Let’s us all ignore the truth
All the pain that we’re inflicting
If we knew, we’d find it sick’ning
Those few cows we see a’grazing
Represent the very few
The 5 percent,
Or even less
They have it best – but they’re exceptions
Not exempting us from evils
We inflict upon the rest
And even these few rare exceptions
Bear the same dark brutal death
Bolt gun to the head and hung up
Strung up till their final breath
But not before they’ve heard the others
Scream and struggle to survive
The smell of feces, blood and fear
But no one’s getting out alive
I’m here asking “what can I do?”
If I value, you
I need to
Try n get through
To your virtue
Knowing no one else
Except you…
Can”
