Each man knew his cattle and
How many
there were
Each
original cowboy
counted
humanely
Now, no one
understands
the
ANIMAL
KINGDOM
Slaughter
houses.
Killing
Chickens upside
down.
They live
lives
in tiny
Shitted
pens.
Tragic Shanty
Towns
of the
ANIMAL
KINGDOM
So we can
have
a cheap
cheeseburger
Every McDay.
Innocent
life is deformed
there are no
cowboys
anymore.
The
ANIMAL
KINGDOM
is abstract
and forgotten.
...It only
comes in a plastic package, anymore.
Great poem!
