I know why caged bird sings
Imprisoned with broken wings
I know why a piglet cries
As Mother prematurely dies
I know why veal calves moan
Wrenched from Mama, all alone
I know why chimpanzees scream
Souls laid waste of jungle dream
Yes, I know why a baby lamb ba's
Longing for their long lost Ma's
Death be nimble, death be quick
Arsenic plates, poison chopsticks
I know why dairy cows low
Spent of milk, to butcher go
Humans mean, people cruel
Love to make sweet animals pule
