Slaughterhouses from a cow's perspective
I've yet to see the light of day.
"Animals don't feel", they always say.
I grew up, not loved and overfed.
Just so my meat can be placed between two slices of bread.
What did I do to deserve this,
To be raised in this abyss?
To be abused by a soulless beeing,
One whose life is not worth seeing.
I can feel, I carry emotion.
I long for the day someone can give me devotion.
I lost my child, for he didn't grow
Up to the size of Mount. Rushmore.
They're redirecting us out of the slaughterhouse,
These people should be taken to a courthouse.
I'm rushed down the assembly line,
Headed by workers with a big waistline.
My life was nothing but torture
Not to mention a scorcher.
If you're humanitarian,
Then please go vegetarian.
