32 Hours Of Jail Poem by O Anna Niemus

32 Hours Of Jail

Rating: 5.0


Every egg stolen from a kidnapped factory farmed chicken
is 32 hours she spent in jail, crammed in often with 8 other
inmates, her claws sometimes growing around the wire mesh
like roots around a rock..immobilizing her. If she is force molted
she can freeze to death. If the electricity goes out in winter
in her metal shed she freezes. If the electricity goes out in summer
she broils to death. If a tornado comes, her shed can be flattened
and she crushed to death. She is debeaked because otherwise the
overcrowding would cause pecking injuries.

In her natural state she can fly to low branches.
