Feeding meat to cows instead of grass.

How could this ever come to pass?

Interfering with their natural feed -

Another ploy to fulfil Man's greed.

Hormones came first, to make meat lean,

And produce the biggest cows we've ever seen. Just ignore organic, sound advice,

And now we have to pay the price.

And farmers say - "our living's gone",

And leaders say - "please lift the ban".

But who's to speak up for the cow,

Who's done no harm, but suffers now?

Let us hope Man learns from his mistakes,

And regrets all these innocent lives he takes. Beryl B Willets
