Poem Genocide, Greed and Unemployment - (1st Draft) - (Hard) - (poem / lyric)

Genocide, Greed and Unemployment

They planted the seed, they scattered the word,
the flock was delivered, the shepherded herd
was once from above, from the sign of the dove
Twas nothing but shock, from the cry of the cock

They watered the crop, they scribed the script
the fish had arrived, the scales were tipped
who knew the tale, of how they would fail
Twas a heart wrenching sigh, that delivered the sty

They fertilised the living, to deliver the crop
the bread was moulded, the penny yet to drop
the mutton was prepared, no souls would be spared
Twas but a mornings work, not to go berserk

They harvested the proceeds, to reap the rewards
the wine was warmed, the ceremony of awards
the knives sharpened, the spirits had darkened
Twas the timing of the Cull, that controlled the null

They came to clean up, hard work from the sun
the chop had to come, as the pigs had the gun
the numbers they had, the carriages so sad
Twas the ones who knew how, who bled the cow

They prepared the feast, they came from far and wide
the tables were full, rooms crammed side to side
the owners generosity, lured all for curiosity
Twas nothing to see, but a false sense of glee

They closed the doors tight, celebrations of delight
for the food was steaming, and the eyes a streaming
all products within, the harvest a success
Twas not just the crop, that we had to say God bless

They muffled the cock, to hide the clock
for the next day was not coming, for banging and running
the tale was now known, that it was the owners who own
and the workers who work, are nothing but bone.
