TomRichard - Hello Poetry

Society just takes a wall Puts it in front of the oppressed Puts up an ad to make us drool the other sides a moral test When we peak we are disgusted But we make no change Yet, the myths been busted There's no humane free range Slits and cracks shine light through sheds Onto cages of thick blood floor Upon looking there's chicken heads But someone's locked the door Living in silence of the death Is something done so easily A chicken takes it's last breath Look away cos you get queasy There's no right way to say this Cos people just don't listen Start to take the ******* **** When I start talking bout their chicken I want to tell them facts and numbers But they just shut off my voice Sitting in their fixed mind bunkers Treating the truth as white noise I wish it would all just disappear The senseless murders of these beings Especially when it' so plain to hear the scream these aisles are bringing People eat it no matter the cost If it's life or 50p more They don't think bout what was lost They see meat and eat it as if by law

There's No Humane Free Range

Society just takes a wall Puts it in front of the oppressed Puts up an ad to make us drool the other sides a moral test When we peak we are disgusted But we make no change Yet, the myths been busted There's no humane free range Slits and cracks shine light through sheds Onto cages of thick blood floor Upon looking there's chicken heads But someone's locked the door Living in silence of the death Is something done so easily A chicken takes it's last breath Look away cos you get queasy There's no right way to say this Cos people just don't listen Start to take the ******* **** When I start talking bout their chicken I want to tell them facts and numbers But they just shut off my voice Sitting in their fixed mind bunkers Treating the truth as white noise I wish it would all just disappear The senseless murders of these beings Especially when it' so plain to hear the scream these aisles are bringing People eat it no matter the cost If it's life or 50p more They don't think bout what was lost They see meat and eat it as if by law

Even on the darkest night Only the living can bring light So don't dwell upon those beloved dead Lie still and look toward the future in your bed At times it is okay to remember old friends and all the rest But you need to leave it in a time when you knew it best It is only natural to be overwhelmed with anger and emotion But these often are not the best remedy potion The past was only going to last so long So let all that has gone be gone Let memories wonder at the back of your mind And don't be angry just be kind Be kind to friends and family as well And if you want to visit memories just give them a bell I'm sure they'll pick up right away After all they do nothing day after day More often than not it's better to look forward in time Because the past is usually sublime Memories can cause emotion at the flick of a switch And sometimes you can't just hide them in a ditch So when you dwell on the past whether it's good or bad Just remember that is the past and what you had You don't have it anymore So get up out of the chair and walk through the door Leave the past all behind In a cave at the back of your mind

The Past Only Lasts So Long

Even on the darkest night Only the living can bring light So don't dwell upon those beloved dead Lie still and look toward the future in your bed At times it is okay to remember old friends and all the rest But you need to leave it in a time when you knew it best It is only natural to be overwhelmed with anger and emotion But these often are not the best remedy potion The past was only going to last so long So let all that has gone be gone Let memories wonder at the back of your mind And don't be angry just be kind Be kind to friends and family as well And if you want to visit memories just give them a bell I'm sure they'll pick up right away After all they do nothing day after day More often than not it's better to look forward in time Because the past is usually sublime Memories can cause emotion at the flick of a switch And sometimes you can't just hide them in a ditch So when you dwell on the past whether it's good or bad Just remember that is the past and what you had You don't have it anymore So get up out of the chair and walk through the door Leave the past all behind In a cave at the back of your mind

A few years ago at some point in a day I remember sitting on a bay A bay that was a tank holding fish So many fish that I wish I had not eaten from my dish I’ve had my fair share of meat And I wish that instead I had something made from wheat I wish I had just ordered garlic bread Instead of something that was already dead Every year cows pigs and millions of others Are taken to the slaughter away from their mothers Away from their small cages and all that they’ve known Away from their friends and what they call home Every year pigs and cows Are raised to have their necks broken like bows Why does everyone just this occur When harmless animals are sent to the slaughter Why don’t people just go vegan And help the animals that are gonna get eaten We need to change from societies meat filled plate And argue the toss put up a debate Why don’t we just tell them what it is Even if some people wanna take the **** I am a vegan, that’s what it is I am a vegan, and I am disgusted I am disgusted that society thinks its okay to eat meat Something that from birth only gets beat So instead I eat food made from wheat shred Because I don’t want to eat something that is already dead Animal bodies are casted aside into meat pans and fryers Advertised by KFCs top of the range liers It is not finger lickin’ good It’s something that should not have been murdered before its adulthood Now some people think it’s okay to pay 15 quid For something that makes me wanna cry and it’s fried squid Now they might say “I only have it on occasion” But that squid had a life, plus its Asian Why not just let them be where they’re meant to next to China Instead of eating them in some chain restaurant diner All of these animals are meant to have different life styles But all it says on the packet is turn on the oven and twist these dials We need to change what society tells us to eat And we need to stop eating meat Because if we don’t change Then society will stay deranged I don’t care if you say “but Tom its free range” Because if you eat meat you don’t use your brain At least not to its’ full potential anyway And I hope you at least think about this all day Because I want you to change you ways So don’t take the cows away from their grass And do something other than sitting on your **** Stop and Think Before you pick up the milk to take a drink Because these cows pigs and millions of others Are raised to be slaughtered and are taken from their mothers I’m sure if you had a daughter You wouldn’t want her to be taken to the slaughter Because these cows, pigs and millions of others Just remember all of them had mothers.

Cows, Pigs and Millions of Others

A few years ago at some point in a day I remember sitting on a bay A bay that was a tank holding fish So many fish that I wish I had not eaten from my dish I’ve had my fair share of meat And I wish that instead I had something made from wheat I wish I had just ordered garlic bread Instead of something that was already dead Every year cows pigs and millions of others Are taken to the slaughter away from their mothers Away from their small cages and all that they’ve known Away from their friends and what they call home Every year pigs and cows Are raised to have their necks broken like bows Why does everyone just this occur When harmless animals are sent to the slaughter Why don’t people just go vegan And help the animals that are gonna get eaten We need to change from societies meat filled plate And argue the toss put up a debate Why don’t we just tell them what it is Even if some people wanna take the **** I am a vegan, that’s what it is I am a vegan, and I am disgusted I am disgusted that society thinks its okay to eat meat Something that from birth only gets beat So instead I eat food made from wheat shred Because I don’t want to eat something that is already dead Animal bodies are casted aside into meat pans and fryers Advertised by KFCs top of the range liers It is not finger lickin’ good It’s something that should not have been murdered before its adulthood Now some people think it’s okay to pay 15 quid For something that makes me wanna cry and it’s fried squid Now they might say “I only have it on occasion” But that squid had a life, plus its Asian Why not just let them be where they’re meant to next to China Instead of eating them in some chain restaurant diner All of these animals are meant to have different life styles But all it says on the packet is turn on the oven and twist these dials We need to change what society tells us to eat And we need to stop eating meat Because if we don’t change Then society will stay deranged I don’t care if you say “but Tom its free range” Because if you eat meat you don’t use your brain At least not to its’ full potential anyway And I hope you at least think about this all day Because I want you to change you ways So don’t take the cows away from their grass And do something other than sitting on your **** Stop and Think Before you pick up the milk to take a drink Because these cows pigs and millions of others Are raised to be slaughtered and are taken from their mothers I’m sure if you had a daughter You wouldn’t want her to be taken to the slaughter Because these cows, pigs and millions of others Just remember all of them had mothers.
