<\/p>\n
Ashrams and sitars<\/span><\/p>\n and gurus<\/p>\n curry The Ganges<\/p>\n and more<\/p>\n locked in our psyche<\/p>\n the cow it is holy<\/p>\n thats if you think that<\/p>\n the law<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n is never broken<\/p>\n its just a token<\/p>\n corruption and bribery<\/p>\n lurks<\/p>\n in the dead of the night<\/p>\n anywhere out of sight<\/p>\n its all sleight of hand<\/p>\n and it works<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n indian farmers<\/p>\n in \u00a0their rural location<\/p>\n are terribly poor<\/p>\n some face such frustration<\/p>\n and sell their cows<\/p>\n imagining they<\/p>\n will be<\/p>\n kept safe on farms<\/p>\n for thats what they say<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n in fact its the opposite<\/p>\n what happens they<\/p>\n are shipped to a state<\/p>\n who look s the other way<\/p>\n you cannot imagine the cruelty<\/p>\n here<\/p>\n its the most wicked place<\/p>\n that all cows do fear<\/p>\n <\/p>\n they nail shoes onto their feet<\/p>\n and rings into their nose<\/p>\n then they are roped together<\/p>\n thats when the pain grows<\/p>\n steadily worse<\/p>\n as their marched \u00a0off to where<\/p>\n they will be slaughtered<\/p>\n and they will share<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n their skins for its leather<\/p>\n the trade \u00a0for those who<\/p>\n in the US and Europe<\/p>\n most don’t have a clue<\/p>\n its such abject torture<\/p>\n its horrible pain<\/p>\n hell knows no fury<\/p>\n and only we gain<\/p>\n <\/p>\n from very cheap prices<\/p>\n with good margins for those<\/p>\n who deal in the skins<\/p>\n but nobody shows<\/p>\n the terror the horror<\/span><\/p>\n the evil out there<\/p>\n when you just see a bit of it<\/p>\n few now can bear<\/p>\n <\/p>\n it is so unrighteous<\/p>\n the enormity<\/p>\n its laden with sin<\/p>\n take it from me<\/p>\n an iniquitous system<\/span><\/p>\n it pierces<\/p>\n the heart<\/p>\n and it really is hard to know<\/p>\n where to start<\/p>\n <\/p>\n each link is abominable<\/p>\n conscienceless \u00a0stuff<\/p>\n it is so abhorrent<\/p>\n that I’ve had enough<\/p>\n sacred<\/span><\/p>\n the cow<\/span><\/p>\n sometimes seen in the street<\/p>\n respected by some<\/p>\n they have to compete<\/p>\n <\/p>\n with traffic, they do<\/p>\n but further away<\/p>\n herds of their sisters<\/p>\n are so made to pay<\/p>\n marched across state<\/span><\/p>\n beaten hard if they slow<\/p>\n so many injuries<\/p>\n you cannot know<\/p>\n <\/p>\n life giving ungulates<\/p>\n praise them for they<\/p>\n should be respected<\/p>\n but not these today<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n they are for leather<\/p>\n that stuff that you wear<\/p>\n or sit on at home<\/p>\n no you are not aware<\/p>\n <\/p>\n or maybe your car seats<\/p>\n are buttery soft<\/p>\n and you reckon yourselves<\/p>\n with your hands held aloft<\/p>\n <\/p>\n because your so proud<\/p>\n of the livery you<\/p>\n sit your arse on<\/p>\n when you drive to their zoo<\/p>\n <\/p>\n those leather shoes<\/p>\n from Italy say<\/p>\n are from indian leather<\/p>\n yea that far away<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n the very same cows<\/p>\n on their long march of hell<\/p>\n brutally treated<\/p>\n for weeks at a spell<\/p>\n <\/p>\n you have to feel sorry<\/p>\n you have to try to<\/p>\n imagine their agony<\/p>\n for what they do<\/p>\n <\/p>\n they are not<\/p>\n fed<\/p>\n or watered<\/p>\n and roped to each other<\/p>\n and in the hot sun<\/p>\n sister and mother<\/p>\n <\/p>\n collapse and are beaten<\/p>\n chilli rubbed in their eyes<\/p>\n their tails broken manually<\/p>\n this just defies<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n the great laws of India<\/p>\n that do proclaim<\/p>\n all cows are sacred<\/p>\n how that does inflame<\/p>\n <\/p>\n my heart and my soul<\/p>\n and my sinews to hear<\/p>\n they are hounded and pounded<\/p>\n and broken with fear<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n in some places trucked<\/p>\n across borders where they<\/p>\n are loaded in squalor<\/p>\n too many, you’d say<\/p>\n <\/p>\n and so they are crushed<\/p>\n broken bones are the thing<\/p>\n and of course dehydration<\/p>\n its tearful to bring<\/p>\n <\/p>\n oneself to imagine<\/p>\n the agony here<\/p>\n these are beautiful cows<\/p>\n gentle beasts<\/p>\n in great fear<\/p>\n <\/p>\n those gloves you are wearing<\/p>\n that handbags of yours<\/p>\n its from some designer<\/p>\n that was because<\/p>\n <\/p>\n you think its exclusive<\/p>\n but let me tell you<\/p>\n its the vilest of torture<\/p>\n that mankind can do<\/p>\n <\/p>\n that coat and that belt<\/p>\n oh you do look supreme<\/p>\n clearly you are<\/p>\n the cream of the cream,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n but if you only knew<\/p>\n what your dollars have bought<\/p>\n if you only gave it a little more thought<\/p>\n <\/p>\n if you heard their screams<\/p>\n blood curdling cries<\/p>\n not the shop where you bought them<\/p>\n who told you their lies<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n but reality<\/p>\n some hill town<\/p>\n far far away<\/p>\n where these beautiful creatures<\/p>\n are made to pay<\/p>\n <\/p>\n with pain and exhaustion<\/p>\n look into their eyes<\/p>\n see the blood in their noses<\/p>\n herald their demise<\/p>\n <\/p>\n when they fall down<\/p>\n they are dragged by the others until<\/p>\n more just collapse<\/p>\n with some kicking still<\/p>\n <\/p>\n but lost to the world<\/p>\n in the most abject pain<\/p>\n and they are kicked and they are beaten<\/p>\n again and again<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n so emaciated so terribly sore<\/p>\n great gaping wounds<\/p>\n do you need more<\/p>\n <\/p>\n horror for there is more<\/p>\n much more today<\/p>\n no ramps on those trucks<\/p>\n just hauled off<\/p>\n such dismay<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n they fall like a bag of bones<\/p>\n onto the ground<\/p>\n these are living creatures<\/p>\n inside they are drowned<\/p>\n <\/p>\n in their own fear their own shit<\/p>\n their own tears of woe<\/p>\n lost souls and their pain<\/p>\n no! you don’t want to know<\/p>\n <\/p>\n you don’t care tuppence<\/p>\n if the coat’s cheap<\/p>\n and if it suits you<\/span><\/p>\n why should you weep<\/p>\n <\/p>\n they eventually get to the death house<\/p>\n where they<\/p>\n get some relief<\/p>\n they are sent on their way<\/p>\n <\/p>\n to somewhere thats better<\/p>\n than this hell hole here<\/p>\n but the slaughtering process<\/p>\n again is not clear<\/p>\n <\/p>\n not defined<\/p>\n its a nightmare<\/p>\n that does undermined<\/p>\n <\/p>\n every ounce of valour<\/p>\n for what happens now<\/p>\n they stand in the shed<\/p>\n watching every cow<\/p>\n <\/p>\n die get dismembered sob in such pain<\/p>\n by the time it is their turn<\/p>\n they \u00a0are three parts insane<\/p>\n <\/p>\n their heads are hacked off<\/p>\n sawn with a blunt blade<\/p>\n thats when humanity is on parade<\/p>\n <\/p>\n thats when my eyes are full up with tears<\/p>\n the saltiness smarts<\/p>\n I am sharing their fears<\/p>\n <\/p>\n

its not just the cows<\/p>\n the skins then must be<\/p>\n cured with the vileness<\/p>\n of \u00a0such shit and we<\/p>\n <\/p>\n again remain ignorant<\/p>\n of how it is done<\/p>\n how the chromium ends<\/p>\n up under the sun<\/p>\n <\/p>\n discharged into rivers<\/p>\n oh yea that do run<\/p>\n where children play<\/p>\n <\/p>\n and dusted<\/p>\n where they drink<\/p>\n where they
