A POEM THAT IS ABOUT GAMEBIRD INDUSTRIAL FACTORY FARMING
Written in response to Protect The Wild post on game bird factory farming
linear concept
solar farm panels fit the norm
conform to a notion of order
row upon row
headstones line up
conform in deathly order
row upon row
row upon row
small cages elevated
hope and excrement to fall
there have been camps
that proximated death
this one is no exception
industrial bred cage birds
to be allowed out
as a supposed wild thing
to fly to be peppered
by leadshot or to escape
into their unworldy wild
it’s all for fun
as an elite blast
poison into the skies
