Why can't I be loved,
is the question I ask.
Is it because I'm a cow,
not a dog, or a cat?

Why can't I be hugged,
and cuddled, and kissed?
Is there a rule against loving cows,
that maybe I'd missed?

Why can't I have a family,
to love, and care for?
Life in a pen's stupid,
I really want more.

Why do I die,
when a dog, or a cat,
are left completely unharmed?
Now answer me that.

Why am I food,
when kittens and such,
are not slaughtered by thousands?
They're not for lunch.

I wanted to be loved,
I wanted a friend.
But you didn't love me.....

You killed me instead.
