Chicken Run

They tore my wings out,

Threw me about,

My legs broke, part by part.

My eyes swollen, my beak drooped,

Around my neck, A chain was looped.

We were trapped in a cage-

As I saw my siblings pulled out of their rack,

Never to come back,

Burned inside me unquenchable rage!

I knew one day,

My time would come,

That, I hoped,

Would never come!

I was terrified when the PETA came,

But they took me out of that horrible place,

Though I was hurt and lame.

They helped me become the strong chick I am today,

I thank the almighty, every day,

That I was saved from the slaughter cart.

I’m happy now-

But still, somehow,

The chicken factory broke my heart.
