Pig wrestling and the church

Stephensville in America

where else yea you might say

the Roman Catholic Church there

has prepared the day

pig wrestling is on the cards

in the mud where they

will all be thrown in the deep end

and be made to pay

the pigs are punched and slapped

and kicked body slammed and thrown

the church says its all innocent fun

all the seeds  that are sown

are for to make some money

and pigs what do they care

they love wallowing in the mud

and even the despair

that man un kind  is unwilling

to understand the Hog

clearly there’s a reluctance

its felt a waist deep bog

is how the animals appreciate

their inclusion in this romp

the obstinacy of churchmen

blinded by the pomp

and circumstance surrounding

the celebration here

toss a pig into a bucket

no matter how severe

the church is just a mass of souls

who know not what they do

the infernal nature of their games

spontaneous and true

they cannot put themselves

into how the pigs might feel

for most of them are indisposed

their feelings they conceal

we see in them inconstancy

on the one hand they preach good

on the other they condone whats bad

motiveless, they could

think much more profoundly

of how the animals feel

but the church is so pigheaded

and truthfully unreal

they cannot see the outrage

the injuriousness thats there

they do themselves a disservice

but cannot see or share

the consequences others see

and others feel as well

they took of heaven glibly

as the march down into Hell
