conscience is there<br \/>\nActually honour bound<br \/>\nTheir lives to share<\/p>\n<p>That is inescapable<br \/>\nIt just feels so right<br \/>\nThe truest affection<br \/>\nwinsome and bright<br \/>\nEnter a farmer<br \/>\nBucket in hand<br \/>\nAnd arse licking parasite<br \/>\nWho won&#8217;t understand<\/p>\n<p>The laws of nature<br \/>\nHe just cannot see<br \/>\nThe mother enamoured<br \/>\nWith her little baby<br \/>\nThey are bewitched<br \/>\nIn the spirit of love<br \/>\nIt has rained down<br \/>\nFrom the heavens above<\/p>\n<p>an adorable picture<br \/>\nIt is just Divine<br \/>\nHeartfelt and honest<br \/>\nAnd Straight down the line<br \/>\nThe farmer so called<br \/>\nTakes the babies away<br \/>\nHe is most ungracious<br \/>\nA beast let me say<\/p>\n<p>Not at all gentle<br \/>\nA scurrilous git<br \/>\nA mannerless fool<br \/>\nWith a heart from the pit<br \/>\nBoorish and cavalier<br \/>\nSurly and gruff<br \/>\nThe cries of the kids<br \/>\nHe can&#8217;t get enough<\/p>\n<p>He is just so unpleasant<br \/>\nAs though he can&#8217;t hear<br \/>\nThe tragedy playing out<br \/>\nAnd all the fear<br \/>\nThe parents are anxious<br \/>\nTheir magical state<br \/>\nTheir love for their infants<br \/>\nIs so wholly great<\/p>\n<p>This chill that they feel<br \/>\nMakes their blood just run cold<br \/>\nThey tremble and shake<br \/>\nThey just want to hold<br \/>\nClearly admiring<br \/>\nOverwhelmingly so<br \/>\nBewitched by their babies<br \/>\nAnd that they must go<\/p>\n<p>Stolen for ever<br \/>\nKidnapped for sure<br \/>\nA blankness prevails<br \/>\nOutside of their law<br \/>\nHow Tom Dick or Harry&#8217;s<br \/>\nCan enter their world<br \/>\nAnd blacken it rapidly<br \/>\nThey kind of hurled<\/p>\n<p>Their hearts out expecting<br \/>\nTheir family tree<br \/>\nTo increase with this gift<br \/>\nWhere they all hoped to be<br \/>\nThat essential togetherness<br \/>\nConquering all<br \/>\nA great celebration<br \/>\nA delightful call<\/p>\n<p>Lost in a moment<br \/>\nThe swagger the swank<br \/>\nOf this violent braggart<br \/>\nSo mindfully frank<br \/>\nThe babies appealing<br \/>\nTheir angelic cries<br \/>\nGut wrenching soul searching<br \/>\nWell that defies<\/p>\n<p>All human character<br \/>\nHow can some do<br \/>\nSuch ugly work<br \/>\nAnd remain happy too<br \/>\nYour heart has to bleed<br \/>\nFor the tragedy here<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s so bloody obvious<br \/>\nAnd now the fear<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s resentment before us<br \/>\nSo incensed are they<br \/>\nTo be present and stand there<br \/>\nAs they are taken away<br \/>\nIt is so forbidding<br \/>\nSo blatant so sad<br \/>\nUgly and snappish<br \/>\nEach little lad<\/p>\n<p>Stolen and pushed in a bucket<br \/>\nAware<br \/>\nHe&#8217;d be gone in a flash<br \/>\nTheir gift oh so rare<br \/>\nTheir blessings so dashed<br \/>\nIn those few seconds they<br \/>\nWere in love with their life<br \/>\nAnd it was taken away<\/p>\n<p>They had been so grateful<br \/>\nAnd now we can see<br \/>\nThe call on Nemesis<br \/>\nTo somehow free<br \/>\nTheir little kids<br \/>\nFrom the bucket of sin<br \/>\nFrom their imminent deaths<br \/>\nIt was all wearing thin<\/p>\n<p>In a matter of moments<br \/>\nThe contempt and the scorn<br \/>\nWas rising and showing<br \/>\nFor their new born<br \/>\nWho is to blame for this<br \/>\nWretched ordeal<br \/>\nWhy do we humans<br \/>\nTry to conceal<\/p>\n<p>Our truest endeavour<br \/>\nTo love and to see<br \/>\nIt changes to what becomes<br \/>\nSuch tragedy<br \/>\nWe really are wicked<br \/>\nOur iniquity<br \/>\nAt condoning such evil<br \/>\nWe should not ever be<\/p>\n<p>So ugly towards other earthlings<br \/>\nWho show<br \/>\nTheir love and respect<br \/>\nWhen we don&#8217;t want to know<br \/>\nWe don&#8217;t fucking care<br \/>\nAbout animals we<br \/>\nThink they were put here<br \/>\nWild and all free<\/p>\n<p>To be eaten and that is the reason<br \/>\nWhy we<br \/>\nLet others torture them<br \/>\nLet others be<br \/>\nMonstrous towards them<br \/>\nHumane no more<br \/>\nWe break their hearts<br \/>\nWe shower them with gore<\/p>\n<p>All of their innocence<br \/>\nWe steal away<br \/>\nAnd we don&#8217;t shoulder guilt<br \/>\nWe just let them pay<br \/>\nLook at this family<br \/>\nThey now are in grief<br \/>\nLove turned to sadness<br \/>\nHope and belief<\/p>\n<p>Went out the window<br \/>\nAs fast as it came<br \/>\nAnd man is the culprit<br \/>\nBut shoulders no blame<br \/>\nThat little soul<br \/>\nWill be eaten somewhere<br \/>\nPut on the Barbecue<br \/>\nA treat perhaps rare<\/p>\n<p>For a human family<br \/>\nTo gobble down fast<br \/>\nWith perhaps some cold lager<br \/>\nAnd however aghast<br \/>\nThe angels are hearing<br \/>\nThe laughter and song<br \/>\nAll know in their hearts<br \/>\nWe so do not belong<\/p>\n<p>In a world where there&#8217;s love<br \/>\nAnd where empathy flows<br \/>\nWhere constant compassion<br \/>\nObviously grows<br \/>\nWhere the true wonderment<br \/>\nEnters us all<br \/>\nAnd with angels amongst us<br \/>\nWho answer the call<\/p>\n<p>And no earthling suffers<br \/>\nNever again<br \/>\nWhere all wars are banned<br \/>\nAnd where the insane<br \/>\nLearn to be caring<br \/>\nLearn to create<br \/>\nHeartfelt emotions<br \/>\nWouldn&#8217;t it be
