Cover my face as the animals cry, In the hanging garden.

No longer am I Esther, I am now Bauby in Le scaphandre et le papillon my mind is active, inquisitive my form is lagging behind moving like it should be 100 years older and unsure where they are going.
Today, for no reason but with passion I researched multitudinous songs concerning Animal Rights. Well more so vegetarianism/Veganism. It was more of a personal issue, I have been vegetarian for a while now, but it could be of general interest I suppose. Here are some of the best ones:

Its not natural, normal or kind, The flesh you so fancifully fry, The meat in your mouth, As you savour the flavour, Of murder- The Smiths, Meat is Murder.

A little bit of whole meal, some raisins and cheese, But I don't eat animals and they don't eat me. Oh no, I don't eat animals 'cause I love them, you see,
I don't eat animals, I want nothing dead in me- Melanie Safka, I Don't Eat Animals.

Destroy all the land, And kill what you can, Just to make the profits rise, Sell you from birth, For all that you're worth, The money spreads like lies - Goldfinger, Open Your Eyes.


Out of the sky, Cover my face as the animals die, In the hanging garden, As the animals die, Cover my face as the animals die- The Cure, The Hanging Garden.

It's why I don't eat red meat or white fish, Don't give me no blue cheese, We're all members of the animal kingdom, Leave your brothers and sisters in the sea- Prince, Animal Kingdom.

And you'll have a lovely meal- The Damned, Torture Me.

Death becomes clearer through bloodshot eyes, As a death from old age becomes nearer
Why can't the livestock be free, When trading soldiers for steak- Silverchair, Spawn Again.

Life and death smell lingering noxious mixed scent anxiety omnipotent doctor, grinds the cage door revealing loves primal instinct taken away the tiny, face terrified rant and rave smash your head against the cage vacuum- Skinny Puppy, Testure.

If animals are animals, And animals have brains, We are no more than cannibals, Who refuse to feel the pain, The meat you eat is wrapped up neat, You didn't see it bleed... And what you kill does not fulfil, Your dietary needs- Citizen Fish, Flesh and Blood.

Sawing out limbs just right for stewing, Carcasses piled up in a heap, Sort juicy chunks from freezers deep, Well can't you see that juice is blood, From new born throuts red rivers flood, Blood form young hearts, blood from the veins, Your blood there blood serves the same, Now your at the table, sitting, grinning- Conflict, Meat Means Murder.
