Meat Is Murder
While they dine at the table I close my eyes
It's a feast of death
Chickens, pigs, and cows have now become a meal on their plate
They eat with smiles on their face happily enjoying the taste of death
They don't know the reality behind that flesh on their plate
They buy meat perfectly packaged at the stores while they walk with eyes closed, they're not awake
They are not conscious about the life the butchers have taken away
The work is just done for them
Advertisements of food on TV and billboards have made us ignorant
They dont show us what really goes on behind the walls of a slaughter house
The meat industry is the most greedy
Innocent creatures are tagged with a number and have no say in what'll take place next, but you can see the fear in their eyes and they can sense death from afar
Welcome to Auschwitz and welcome to slavery, this never ended
Mother cows, pigs, and chickens are parted from their babies
Families are separated
They're confined into cages so small that they dream of running and playing
They're terrified because they hear the cries of the ones about to die
They no nothing about love or affection because no one has given them a kind touch
No one has spoken a kind word to them
They are killed by greedy people who think money is more important than the lives they've stolen
And all that pain and fear the animals feel, all the blood they shed is what we ingest
Meat, the skin of the innocent, of the kind creatures, the ones who wanted a long happy life
I dream of the day they'll be free
I dream of the day they'll no longer be a meal
I dream of families at dinner tables eating colorful foods grown from Earth not the body parts of the defenseless
It's time to remove the blindfolds
It's time to accept that animals are not commodities, animals are not property, animals should be free, just like us.
