Not Milk Poem by Saiom Shriver

Not Milk



Are we the only species
drinking the stolen milk
of an animal designed
to become 1000 pounds
in a few months time?
Does cows' milk give us Cadillac
bodies with VW hearts?
Is it a factor in American
obesity? Are fast food
chain hamburgers made
mostly of exhausted old
or infertile young captive
dairy cows? Do milking machines
give the slave mammals bloody udders
and cause the infection
to drop into the milk?
Can one contract salmonella
and other food poisonings
from old milk?
