The change has to come and soon

I am sick and tired
of the drivel that emanates from some
we hear them when we protest
yes they get among

the crowds and shout like crazy
but what they haven’t found
is the holocaust of horror
which is going on around

out of some perceptions
below the parapet
every conceivable animal
is covering their debt

some have to all humanity
which is taken out on them
its the cruelty, the abandonment
the ignorance which does stem

from human un kind beings
selfish when they own
a cat or dog and other pets
as time seems to have shown

neglect is almost everywhere
we see it everyday
animals with protruding ribs
and in every street a stray

feral cats, originally
pets and just let go
to fend in some dark alley
or some forest, its a blow

to them to go from pet to wild
but thats survival for
those who came to be our friends
but were locked outside our door

cows milked till their weak and sore
and lost and sick and lame
their raped and all their babies killed
despite what farmers claim

how hard it is how sad it is
for them I do not care
the animals are commodities
and are living with despair

the cruelty is evident
but nobody goes to see
farm animals are fodder
for the dairy industry

treated like machines they are
and not let out to feel
the sun the rain the wind
oh no inside they do conceal

in concrete cells without day light
and some no straw at all
standing in their excrement
and there for the long haul

dogs are made to fight
the gangs of louts get loads of dosh
making one dog fight another
it just, does not wash

its sinister and awful
and to do it is a sin
but its happening all over
but the the dogs have got to win

hunters bloody hunters
they kill and they train
hounds
leave all species well alone
its your sanctimonious grounds

for displaying kills and posing
as many of you do
blood lust disgust
and sexual urges
we know coming through

entertainment sickens me
rodeo my god
so called cowardly cowboys
who cannot spare the rod

they maim and torture calves and bulls and horses
all the day
they are insults for the human race
and should now be made to pay

the sponsors should walk backwards
waving so as to
make these creepy cowboys
realise that they are through

circus ther’s another horror story
for us all
the animals do stupid tricks
when their back are against the wall
made to just look silly and frustrated
by us, they
are starved and so ill treated
which cannot be the way

masked monkeys and the others working
on the street, the cobras and all sorts of souls
it really leaves me beat

working horses donkeys mules
lost somewhere tragically
working till their backs are broken
and, that is daily

vivisection torment
animals poor things
quietly they do go to their deaths
and all of this it brings

karma down upon us
and a lot more besides
on all this evil culture
our future yes it rides

Bullfighting and running Bulls
and horse racing and more
exploitation is everywhere
in and outside the law

and change has got to happen
change we have to see
people have got to wake up fast
and prevent this cruelty

the Orca’s and the dolphins
in sea parks everywhere
don’t go buying tickets
to those tanks full of despair

use the brains you were born with
and stop this carnage please
there really has to be a change
for the cows are on their knees

the pigs are in gestation crates
the calves are shot away
there has to be a change
make sure it is today
