Once upon a time( a fairy story for big boys and girls)

Once upon a time
a cow
produced milk
for its calves, per se
Now it helps to give
some of its
cholestrol rich
and lots do pay

a great deal in the
supermarket
who steals it
from the farmers, they
Have'nt got the clout
to refuse them
and so they do create a way

To make the poor
cows produce
more milk
Posilac was Monsanto's cry
Bovine growth the
magic hormone
udders massive
udders why?

That hang,
the skin drags over
cinders
mastitic, Lame
cows limp and cry
blood encrusted so that we
We I said can
amble by

Earlier, our hearts give out
thats the way it has to be
some get rich
they steal from farmers
as accomplices
we fail to see
and pour that stuff
on our crap cornflakes
xanthine oxidase will be
in the great
Homogenization
groaning profits
instantly

Lesions form in youthful arteries
your arteries
Oh! yes your free
The cows are bred
and live in pain
and many will
die tragically
