Villaneuva de la Vera in Extremadura Spain 24/2

Culture and tradition words that sicken me
When they are used to describe something
That for me is infamy
For me is, wanton cruelty
Of animals
No regard
For the safety of our earthling friends
Who really battle hard

The donkey He’s a simple fellow
Works his heart out every day
Gentle, doesn’t want for much
Sometimes has a lot to say
But has a heart of solid gold
And is born to truthfully be
Of value to humanity
If only they could see

In Spain land of such culture
bull fighting and the like
We see vile cruelty happening
And for me,bit does strike
A massive chord inside my head
When I witness all this pain
This generation of avid fear
By a culture that is insane

A rabble that’s the only description
I can attempt today
Shouting bawling drunken louts
Excitable lets say

Noisy boisterous bloody fools
Reckless I can say
Intoxicated idiots
Fuming all the way

Through the streets this cluster
Of hatted ecstasy
And a driven Donkey
Who must actually be
Shitting itself with real fear
With fireworks set between its legs
YES Truthfully it’s clear

This is random idiocy
Grown men in a whirl
A frenzy a delirium a rampage
As they hurl
This Donkey onwards through the streets
Shouting and some more
The pathos of the ceremony
And nobody is sure

And the Donkey is beside itself
Within it’s soul it must be
Frightened what is happening
It’s awful just to see
The cruelty it’s horrid
It’s hectic and febrile
Seething and volcanic
With not a lot of style

There is no joy for the animal
Just hysterics now all round
So impetuous so impulsive
And unstable I would be bound
To stop this bloody rabble
And chuck them all in jail
This is not a culture
This is madness that must fail

The donkey often dies in fact
Of shock and wouldn’t you
How the hell can it understand
What we are going to do
It’s insanity a forethought
It’s agog with evil deed
It’s frenzied it’s abandonment
And where do outbursts lead

This is a day to stop all this
This cruelty this pain
This donkey is going through it
All day in the rain
It’s a sentient earthling
With emotion and with care
With sentiment and reaction
To everybody there
It has understanding
And earnestness to be
And shouldnt be the victim
In what is a vile melee
