Exporting live animals to the middle east by ship

Morality appears to have just
Disappeared for good
Shippers are unconscious
And insincere they should
Care about the animals
And realise their worth
Creation made them miracles
On One part of this earth

To Farmers trucking animals
In sweltering heat, I say
Its villianous behaviour
You really do betray
The animals who gave so much
Its so wicked to me
Sending them on coffin ships
Across a stormy sea

Its totally unethical
Despite your marketing clap
Your fancy web sites spouting
Sorry, a big gap
Exists for the reality
Is torturous and vile
It isnt on the level
You ought to be on trial

Self interest self indulgence
Not qualities to admire
All those beautiful animals
And the journey will be dire
Inspection a reflection
On the arrogance you hold
These animals are victims
And all your hearts are cold

You abandon them its so graceless
Its abuse and you lot ought
To travel a voyage in their hooves
See how overwrought
They get how fearful actually
Left to cook and be
Left in their unfallen state
In their adversity

You have been caught red handed
You are guilty of a crime
And now you try to wiggle and
Beg for another time
Inspection please dont make me cry
Live animals should never be
Shipped aboard as cargo
Its inhumanity

And I hope you shippers
Feel good
As these animals suffer so
And on arrival in the Middle East
Mercilesly they know
They actually have more feeling
Than The lot of you and they
Know halal will get them
Know that they must pay

Throats slit by those butchers
No compassion there
Some sheep loaded into car boots
And, ensuing despair
You are aiding and abetting
This horror from the start
Farmers shippers government
Where the hell is your heart?

Yes you are in denial
But the world looks on and they
Know how bloody corrupt you are
Its depraved, I have to say
Juggling these words these wanton rackets
Everywhere
And innocent animals suffering so
Thinking nobody will care

It should be made illegal
Its slave trading all the way
Unlawfulness a child knows this
But it happens every day
Incompetant and unauthorized
The wrong side of the law
And lackey soft mouthed politicians
Well they just ignore

The misdemeanours and the dishonesty
That surrounds the live exports trade
Those poor sheep crammed in sweaty holds
So much torture laid
Nightmares they will have so many
And Australian Farmers they
Collect their cash and credits
And just go on their way

The dolour and the anguish
See it on each face
Sorrow grief and sadness
Yes its a disgrace
Wretchedness and misery
Chagrin and remorse
Sacrificed for dollars
As they each feel their life force

Leaving them its intolerable
Its unbearable its wrong
We could’t be more sinful
And this is all along
Excuses we have lots of them
Hiding as we do
Refusing to hear their mournful cries
Knowing all the while how true

Total hideosity
As gruesome as can be
A nightmare voyage to certain hell
In their own shit they be
These animals are cleaner
Than most humans aboard ship
But are made to face the squalor
And comfortlessly let rip

Its penny pinching tightfistidness
A miserly regard
For animals that are suffering
And suffering so hard
What a way to end ones life
In a pressure cooker hold
Being thrown by a stormy sea
Yes everyone is rolled

Is bruised and cut and hurting
Alone to sweat and cry
Why are we so niggardly
We begrudge so much but why
They have given everything they have
And are clearly on their way
Sacrificial animals
That wont live to see the day

When the sun comes out
And the grass is sweet

Never again
