The Underbelly of Society                                      of those at my side,
                                                                       The deafening grind of machines covering up their screams of
        I look to the side to see a slum,                              agony,
        Ridden with lot of different types of rum
        It is a sight that is unbearable,                              Oh, the Poultry Factory was quite the ride.
        And yet we still find it hard to see the terrible.
                                                                       Some of us were fed till we were crushed to death under our
        They rise from bitter beds,                                    weight,
        With thoughts of suicide in their heads                        Others who starved till their bones could tear through their skin,
        They face the day with never ending dread,                     Some got pushed into the colossal wheels of spinning doom,
        Remembering all the things they said.                          Oh, the Poultry Factory was quite the ride.
        Starving in the middle of the night
        Unable to sleep or see the light,                              My heart beat out of my chest with the terror,
        So I write, why can we let this happen                         As those men with masks pushed me into the wheels of doom,
        Why do we let them blacken.                                    My bones were ripped apart and my flesh turned to mulch,
                                                                       Oh, the Poultry Factory was quite the ride.
        They fight for just a crumb,
        What have they become,                                         Every day I sit and wonder,
        Tabooed by society,
        All facing anxiety.                                            why I had to be born?
                                                                       My purpose was to be eaten?

                                                                       universe and human greed,

        The Poultry Factory

        I opened my eyes,                                              MYP- 3

        My first sight was the thousands by my side,
        All I could hear were the other’s cries,

        The wheels of the factory machines churned in harmony,
        The crunch of the bones,
        the crack of the beaks,
