fauxcroft

Sitting at the table and looking outside

Thinking how much beauty there is and just how we are blind

To all the verdant prismic colours scattered everywhere

And how easy it would be, to get lost in her.

Then I decide to take a stroll to drink this in

And I come across a slaughterhouse

That almost seems like it’s hiding

Within this beautiful countryside

Like a stain on nature

And I turn away from this animal  Auschwitz men have created.

A little further on I reach a clearing full of buildings

Nievely I walk past wondering what they’re doing inside

And as walk around I see a sign so ghastly

Hidden by the countryside

An animal testing laboratory

That is when I realise that in the beautiful heart of nature

Lurks pure evil of the corporate resource rapers

Killing animals in the heart of  sweet Mother Nature

The tranquil hides the smoke from incinerators

And muffled the cries of animals eviscerated.

I walk from this place and return to my home

I never new that in beauty

There could be such an unknown sickness that is dwelling there

I shed a tear for the whole of nature and for the animal despair

Being slaughtered for their meat

And cosmetics for your hair

And I wish I could make these places  simply go away

And leave Mother Nature to work her magic

And leave a place of untainted beauty.
