Piglet

Androstenone
a steroid
produced by its testes
makes Boars aggressive
I hear
so some rotten sod
who thinks they are god
pulls their testicles off
never fear
no painkillers they would
be costly
no vet’s blimey they
cost a bomb
grab hold of the poor piglets bollocks
rip them off
and just smile with
aplomb
now Boar taint will
not be a problem
and the apple sauce
will taste a treat
the piglet the poor little
squeaky will taste better
when people eat,
well he
squeaks like the devil
and bleeds for a while
its a sort of swine
controversy
Factory farming
its all about scale
and keeping costs
down naturally.

Some piglets
die the pain threshold
high
so they tend to be, tossed
away
Imagine it being born
into a world
like this
where so soon
you must pay
the realization of profit
of margins and what role
they play
and poor little squeaky
whose just lost his balls
for him
its a pretty sad day
so they clip off his tail
no pain killers used
its just one more reason
that they are abused
and then its their teeth
well you know Dentists Bills
the same god like creature
is getting his thrills
clipping those molars
no gas no cocaine
just pair of old pliers
yes again and again

This was castration
tail docking and why
well they’re crammed
in so tightly together
they might try
to eat one another
so that isn’t on
and why in a flash
their sweet tails are gone

the life of a pig
on a factory farm
is clearly a place
well he will come to harm
he’ll be prodded and kicked
he’ll be branded may be
and at 200 pounds
we know where he

is off to the slaughterhouse
to the scalding tank
to remove those bristles
I mean to be frank
then his throat slit
and his blood it will be
collected
black pudding with
spices for tea
