live exports from AUSTRALIA
To Israel
Came under fire for cruelty
When they
Arrived at the slaughterhouse
In fact its general policy
To be unkind to animals
This way
Slaughterhouses slaughter
Thats their remit
The workers there expect
Them all to die
And many do not see the reason
To extend their caring
So they bully them and they poke them
Till they cry
Its alright saying workers
Have been sacked there
The management the training and the rest
Are crucially immoral in their thinking
That treating egregiously may test
Resolve and it will frighten and upset them
A long sea crossing caused a lot of stress
To then be poked and prodded and slammed around the place
Honestly there has to be redress
Israel cannot do whatever it wants to do
These are animals and as such each feel
They know already they a for the exit gate
Without the prods and electric shocks for real
Its really very sad and infact brutal
To treat an animal on its way to death
Without respect at all, it drives me up the wall
That Israel wants to deny their angels breath
Australia saw the footage of the slaughterhouse
And they were up in arms and rightly so
These are sentient creatures they don’t want to die
The Israeli’s are out and out that now we know
What a bunch of savages they are in fact
Driving souls to where they cannot go
Trap them in a passage way and bash them on the back
And still,They have no other place to go
So egregiously beating them and prodding
Them around
Is cruelty personified as their own people found
Stop the exports straight a way Israel is no place
And if they suffer meat shortages
Good then by the grace
Of good in this world that should be
A case in point and they
Must learn to treat live animals
With respect along the way
IF ISRAEL PERSISTS TO TREAT CATTLE CRUELLY MEANT FOR THE SLAUGHTER HOUSE, AUSTRALIA SHOULD BAN THE EXPORTS OF LIVE CATTLE.
That is why I have written this poem and sent a copy to Phillip Wollen and to Netanyahu and many other distinguished people any comments on the poem at all
