Did You Know?

Did you know
The cow was slaughter?
Did you know 
The general touches your daughter?

Did you know
The colonel lies?
Did you know
Your son has died?

Yeah, Sue is right, this is Free Verse. Odd subject matter displayed almost like a skipping song and with a definite story to tell, however, it's very abstract. I must admit, "the cow was slaughter" irks me, it has mixed tenses and sounds as though "slaughter" was chosen over "slaughtered" to find an easier rhyme. It's not bad though, just as I said earlier, amazingly abstract.
