THE RITUAL KILL
god wasn't at the killing place/
the cow was created on a meat
production line/ lived in hell a
short time/ to be 'stuck' in the
throat/ by a rabbi with a prayer
book & blood stained apron/ the
kosher shiver of a monster life
draining away/ cows take sixty
to a hundred seconds to lose
consciousness/ as an australian
public struggles with its dumb
conscience/ bellowing from
calves overpowers the rotary
saws/ bewildered cows lifted
by chains/ & those big broken
hearts that just keep pumping/
no amount of praying can justify
the daily truck loads of families
arriving/ & every night as our
heads rest on soft pillows/ the
cattle culture is brought to the
city killing place/ a hundred old
religious institutions blooding
the earth/ an animal holocaust |
