.5. The Slaughter Man Poem by David Threadgold

.5. The Slaughter Man

Rating: 5.0


Dripping with blood
See the slaughter mans knife
Once again killing
And taking a life

Carcase on rail hooks
Are swung to a block
Taken to butcher
Their limbs to unlock

Vast internal organs
Get sorted whilst hot
Smell quite disgusting
And there’s such a lot

Shipped off to shops
Will be sold to the many
Joints chops or steaks
Choose you can have any

Like human piranha
Bones left on a plate
Bred for their meat
With a slaughter mans date

A very explicate poem David, taking animals apart does not seem a nice job

David, you write on such a lot of topics, never read one about a slaughter man before, but it's a job they have to do, people like to forget about if they can.... Andrew 10
