Religious rites or are they wrongs<\/p>\n
where sacrifice is used<\/p>\n
I know of various festivals<\/p>\n
where \u00a0animals being abused<\/p>\n
might have been acceptable<\/p>\n
when consciousness was low<\/p>\n
but now we’ve reached a higher state<\/p>\n
of consciousness you know<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
so continually slaughtering ungulates<\/span><\/p>\n the gods accept the need<\/p>\n to save them<\/p>\n not \u00a0to slaughter them<\/p>\n nobody has to bleed<\/p>\n out to please the higher gods<\/p>\n sacrifice is a cost<\/p>\n life is so important<\/p>\n and \u00a0for every life thats lost<\/p>\n <\/p>\n it costs the human spirit<\/p>\n and is a tragic \u00a0thing<\/p>\n it so affects the families<\/p>\n of the sacrificed who bring<\/p>\n much woe \u00a0and lamentation<\/p>\n into the spirit world<\/p>\n the gods thus are unhappy<\/p>\n that so many still are hurled<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n out into the ether<\/p>\n lost souls everyone<\/p>\n their karmic debts unsettled<\/p>\n their significance undone<\/p>\n there has to be another way<\/p>\n an offering where life<\/p>\n is not lost and there is no cost<\/p>\n and \u00a0hopefully \u00a0a day<\/p>\n <\/p>\n will come soon where<\/p>\n the sacrifice \u00a0really is no more<\/p>\n the festival goes on the same<\/p>\n without the blood and gore<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now to relate a story<\/p>\n of what happened recently<\/p>\n 2200 sheep were shipped from Perth<\/p>\n which was where they be<\/p>\n loaded up in wooden crates<\/p>\n and stowed inside a plane<\/p>\n 2200 to me it sounds insane<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Singapore Airlines took the shipment<\/p>\n and sent them on their way<\/p>\n 174 arrived dead<\/p>\n with their lives they had to pay<\/p>\n inadequate ventilation<\/p>\n how they suffocated they<\/p>\n choked and screamed and<\/p>\n in utter fear perished in a way<\/p>\n <\/p>\n no soul ever imagined<\/p>\n that it would come to this<\/p>\n the agony of failing air<\/p>\n and heat is so remiss<\/p>\n these are sentient creatures<\/p>\n their feelings are intense<\/p>\n a vivacity a liveliness<\/p>\n spirited with such sense<\/p>\n <\/p>\n and left in crates to perish<\/p>\n to cook in fact in there<\/p>\n and no one hear their bleatings<\/p>\n nobody aware<\/p>\n no one came to even check<\/p>\n highly strung and mobile<\/p>\n but equivalent to a \u00a0speck<\/p>\n on man un kinds emotion<\/p>\n no thought was cast their way<\/p>\n and so they died in agony<\/p>\n they were the ones to pay<\/p>\n <\/p>\n over 2000 witnessed this<\/p>\n they also suffered long<\/p>\n maybe a little stronger<\/p>\n but knowing all was wrong<\/p>\n put out by their comrades<\/p>\n dying on the ground<\/p>\n many of their relatives<\/p>\n in their own juice they drowned<\/p>\n <\/p>\n their emotions all a tangle<\/p>\n their shared pain cast adrift<\/p>\n so we start to quote statistics<\/p>\n somehow that does lift<\/p>\n some blame out of the cauldron<\/p>\n but the ungulates they know<\/p>\n they realize the agony<\/p>\n and how it began to grow<\/p>\n <\/p>\n endurance was a factor<\/p>\n torment was one too<\/p>\n a dark ordeal was manifest<\/p>\n mortification grew<\/p>\n as each fell on the floor and died<\/p>\n the uneasiness was there<\/p>\n the tales of woe was shared by all<\/p>\n as was complete despair<\/p>\n <\/p>\n at Singapore the doors were opened<\/p>\n and everyone could see<\/p>\n all those wasted little lives<\/p>\n lost to eternity<\/p>\n other sheep would replace them<\/p>\n from Ireland I’ve heard tell<\/p>\n and all the rest were on their way<\/p>\n to a place far worse than hell<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n all for ritual slaughter<\/p>\n head chopped or throat sliced<\/p>\n each had \u00a0all their own memories<\/p>\n but they all were enticed<\/p>\n into the crates of doom and gloom<\/p>\n and out across the skies<\/p>\n to hot and sticky Singapore<\/p>\n where they could realize<\/p>\n <\/p>\n their end was coming closer<\/p>\n religious rites were where<\/p>\n they would be the sacrifice<\/p>\n their blood they’d have to share<\/p>\n all the congregation would partake<\/p>\n and would embrace<\/p>\n their flesh and blood their gonads<\/p>\n all to be eaten with good grace<\/p>\n <\/p>\n live exports from Australia<\/p>\n in the space of some 5 years<\/p>\n 1732 flights<\/p>\n and millions of bloody tears<\/p>\n 1.2 million live sheep each one<\/p>\n caring souls<\/p>\n shipped by air to anywhere<\/p>\n under strict controls<\/p>\n <\/p>\n of that great big number<\/p>\n 340 have died<\/p>\n asphyxiated painfully<\/p>\n and each one hurt inside<\/p>\n felt the dreadful fury of the air<\/p>\n run out until<\/p>\n their eyes became so swollen<\/p>\n and blood began to spill<\/p>\n <\/p>\n this was a death of terror<\/p>\n and each one that \u00a0was dealt<\/p>\n this end this awful torture<\/p>\n everyone who felt<\/p>\n that they had been let down<\/p>\n by man un kind<\/p>\n and they just fell<\/p>\n into darkness<\/p>\n sobbing<\/p>\n those seeing it<\/p>\n did tell<\/p>\n <\/p>\n how they felt downtrodden<\/p>\n weeping in their hearts<\/p>\n the hopelessness apparent<\/p>\n just like little darts<\/p>\n piercing through their precious flesh<\/p>\n prolonging their ordeal<\/p>\n condemned by the human swill<\/p>\n that was for them so real<\/p>\n <\/p>\n the gods were never happy<\/p>\n this ineffective flight<\/p>\n this lack of ventilation<\/p>\n of course it wasn’t right<\/p>\n the tumultuous decision<\/p>\n to slaughter all of those<\/p>\n who made it into Singapore<\/p>\n beyond all seen there grows<\/p>\n <\/p>\n a greater sensitivity<\/p>\n a delectation for<\/p>\n empathy and compassion<\/p>\n never blood and gore<\/p>\n <\/p>\n the savage heart can’t take it<\/p>\n it threatens to overwhelm<\/p>\n what could have been paradisical<\/p>\n saw \u00a0the reaper at the helm<\/p>\n the malevolence the unpleasing<\/p>\n the afflicted and the sad<\/p>\n the invidious the offensive<\/p>\n the odious and the bad<\/p>\n <\/p>\n and every single one of them<\/p>\n was slaughtered as I said<\/p>\n every single one of them<\/p>\n is well and truly dead<\/p>\n the humans came to \u00a0worship<\/p>\n a very special cause<\/p>\n the animals lost everything<\/p>\n my thought is that we pause<\/p>\n <\/p>\n we let the spirit waft into the<\/p>\n magnitude of space<\/p>\n we settle back to contemplate<\/p>\n where the human race<\/p>\n has come to, \u00a0the evolution<\/p>\n and the soul<\/p>\n journey to absolution<\/p>\n is within his own control<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Religious rites or are they wrongs where sacrifice
