How Lucky We Didn't Kill You

Twenty million Hoosier birds

will fall to our bloody hands

in the course of the year,

but we'll praise ourselves

for the "two" we spare


Pointless political pageantry

where our blood-thirsty "saviors"

will still fully savor the flesh

of finely roasted death


But we'll call them lucky,

the two whose necks

we didn't place

beneath our ax


Lucky

it wasn't your blood

we drained


Lucky

it wasn't your anal cavaties

we stuffed with bread


Lucky

for our endless kindness


Lucky 

we bothered to give you a name


Lucky

we pardoned you

from your countless

turkey crimes


Lucky

we even noticed your life

prior to taking it


Lucky

our forks found 

a different victim


Lucky

we bred twenty million others

we'll kill instead


While we'll call

the only two we spare,

Lucky
