A Flux of Pink Indians
Sick butchers

I used to graze in a field
Used to breathe, I used to be alive
To chew the grass in the fields
Could see and hear the world around me
See and fear man around me
Had a virgin skin, but now sold in supermarkets
Now studded blankets
Used to hear the cars and the birds, and the people going by
They were my destiny
They were my reason, my purpose in this field
For their plates, their cold bodies
Their car seat covers
My soul for your soles of shoes
You may like my taste
You may like my warmth
It may say in the bible that you can kill me
But i don't want to die
I don't want to die
You try to stroke me in a field,
Then go home and eat me as your meal
