- Hog Calling -

 

 

 

 

 

Under wooden beams, illegally within cloaked secrecy.
Hands throw pink flesh, throttle necks so squeels go unheard
and PETA paparazzis unable to catch all abusers in the act
of daily torture before Creature's worth is sliced, diced- served.

Factory farms slipped greenbacks by Washington's mafia hitmen
to test how durable our four legged friends are also how to use
them as an outlet for anger management since hitting their wives,
children or kicking the family dog considered against the law
so they come to work and waste no time in separating mother
from babies then smile while fists punch pink- their woes slaughtered.






Author notes

Prompt: Government

**Allow this torture to continue- in factory farming.
Not just hogs, cows, chickens...animals consumed by Man.

    This is a very powerful poem you have written Desire and it has a great message. Though I eat chicken, fish and turkey I could never imagine actually killing an animal. To me, that would one of the cruelest things to do. I hear some people tell me that slaughter houses are just awful and if people were to see what the animals go through they would most likely not want to eat meat anymore. Thanks for sharing and congrats on winning the gold. Well deserved.

    POWERFUL AND SENSITIVE!!!

    I am not against eating meat but when one tortures an animal just to get more money I feel so ashamed of us as humans. Even the most ferocious animal does not torture but kills quickly for its food.

    Plain and simple - three clappies and a standing ovation. Takes a lot of heart to actually know the difference here, so many people trapped inbetweens.
