For that carton of yogurt you've just thrown away

cattle had to be bred
for a few thousand years
of war and rapine

and the cows inseminated
and fed chemical supplements
and their calves removed
while the mothers grieved
and moaned for many days
and were milked by incredible machine
until they were too old
and were 'recycled'.

the milk was taken by a tanker
to a factory, and checked
and separated from its cream
and superheated and processed
and put into silly plastic cartons by machine
and packed into boxes and sent out
to supermarkets where you bought a pack
of six and forgot about them in the fridge.

This 'Natural Product' went first into a dumpster
and then a dumping vehicle
and then a landfill Gehenna...
Our species is a monster.
