Two Spring Lambs

Its a cold and frosty morning
The start of a brand new day
The very first of our short lives
By our mothers side we stay
Her wool is warm and soft
She nuzzles us to feed
She warns us not to stray too far
And always answer to her pleas
Now the days are getting warmer
And life seems really sweet
But the grown ups always warn us
To saviour every blade of grass we eat
There is aunty she is very old
She struggles to her feet
She scolds us when were naughty
Why does she call us growing meat
But we are fare to busy winning races
To listen to their lies
With our bellies full and sleepy now
We gaze in to mommies eyes
Then from our baby dreams we are waken
By the clash of mettle gates
They heard us in to prisons now
We cry mommy where are we been taken
But bleating now wont save us
And there is no where safe to run
For we are standing in the abattoir que
With Aunty she's here too
All waiting for the slaughter mans gun
So we huddle close together
While they force us both apart
And mommy whispers to us softly
As the blood runs from our hearts
Now we seem to be floating
There are lots of babies here
We see a meadow in the distance
And aunties nice now she soothes us
That there is nothing more to fear
So you stole us from our mother
And you robbed us of our life
You cut up our little bodies
With your murderous butchers knife
But you wont steel our souls
And our spirits remain free
While there's babies on your plate
The conscious of man will never be

This is probably my favourite poem I wrote it when my two pet sheep had their babies still together now mothers 6 babies 4 years old . I would watch them at play with a sense of sadness thinking of all the other lambs been born who would have their lives so cruelly cut short. Their mothering skills and love for their babies could put some people to shame , when I weaned them they bleated to each other for two weeks solid , normally in sheep farmed for meat mothers and lambs don't see each other again . When I put them back together their joy to be reunited was so emotional to watch it made me feel ashamed to be human , even now they still settle down at night side by side, mother a daughter, mother and son with a small space between them a little family , just like people.
