\/>\nEgo&#8217;s and mass coercion<br \/>\nA corporate numbing exists<br \/>\nThrough our air our water and our food supplies<br \/>\nA dumbing down clearly persists<\/p>\n<p>Animals should be our mentors<br \/>\nTheir existence is instinctively sound<br \/>\nThey live where they are put<br \/>\nAnd eat what they know<br \/>\nAnd know every inch of the ground<br \/>\nThey form lasting friendships<br \/>\nAnd know of the human<br \/>\nThe tribe who encroaches and kills<br \/>\nThey know this and try very hard<br \/>\nTo avoid an encounter<br \/>\nFor therein blood spills<\/p>\n<p>The anguish of losing A partner though<br \/>\nIs much of the same as we feel<br \/>\nThat anguish that grief and that sorrow<br \/>\nThat mournfulness it is for real<br \/>\nThey understand life and death<br \/>\nOnly we<br \/>\nAre as ignorant somehow to say<br \/>\nThat animals really were created so we<br \/>\nCould bloody well blow them away<\/p>\n<p>We could torture them, eat them<br \/>\nPut them in farms, in CAFO&#8217;s<br \/>\nAnd laboratories where they<br \/>\nwould undergo Such vile treatment we know<br \/>\nAnd with their lives then they could pay<\/p>\n<p>The total uneasiness and fretting<br \/>\nAnd all of that dreadful concern<br \/>\nOf course Jericho is feeling it now<br \/>\nThats something we better learn<br \/>\nThose hunters like Palmer such arrogance rules<br \/>\nThey are a negligent vile bunch of fools<br \/>\nWilling to slaughter their teachers at will<br \/>\nThey see their control as a wonderful skill<\/p>\n<p>Anyone close to the animals knows<br \/>\nTheir grief is important but much more it shows<br \/>\nHow heavy-laden they are how care-worn<br \/>\nHow they weep by themselves that their friend<br \/>\nHas been torn<br \/>\nFrom their side, from their life, from their<br \/>\nSoul as it were<br \/>\nThat mortification we ought to concur<\/p>\n<p>For Palmer and others they have lost their way<br \/>\nTheir arrogance startles it makes others pay<br \/>\nTheir blood is so caked up and they make so much phlegm<br \/>\nTheir state of unconsciousness it just does stem<br \/>\nFrom their evil unfeeling, their spiritless heart<br \/>\nThey are shameless and callous an expressionless fart<br \/>\nActually, in human unconcerned and aloof<br \/>\nAnd all of these victims are permanent proof<\/p>\n<p>Cecil lured out of the park late at night<br \/>\nWith an odious trick how could that be right<br \/>\nIts displeasing to witness such human deceit<br \/>\nWhat was truly grotesque from the so called elite<br \/>\nAnd Jericho feels that, he knows that,  he cares<br \/>\nThe hideousness of it of course he shares<br \/>\nCecil was his friend, his buddy his mate<br \/>\nOne of the family someone too rate<\/p>\n<p>Jericho&#8217;s fearful thats why he goes<br \/>\nBack to the place where somehow he knows<br \/>\nCecil was last, and he cries his low cry<br \/>\nYou bet he has many tears in his eye<br \/>\nAs for the hunters lost in their own vibe<br \/>\nRunaway flinchers the faint hearted tribe<br \/>\nTheir over confidence and inconsideration<br \/>\nShock every sentient soul in this nation<\/p>\n<p>We should lament for the souls that are lost<br \/>\nWhether they are Lions or Beagles we have tossed<br \/>\nInto a facility to torture and kill<br \/>\nRabbits for their fur all the blood that we spill<br \/>\nLeather from the cows for our shoes and our coats<br \/>\nBy purchasing this pain the agony floats<br \/>\nInto other emotions and into the night<br \/>\nYou kill one animal and another will cry<br \/>\nWill miss them they are sentient don&#8217;t ask me why<br \/>\nAnimal earthlings are our mentors a thought<br \/>\nWe Should be learning not calling them sport<br \/>\nNot ingesting their flesh with the corporate sauce<br \/>\nNor going to their home and exerting brute force<\/p>\n<p>Lets all cry with Jericho lets share his pain<br \/>\nAnd put an end to the violent insane<br \/>\nThe hunters who happen, women now too<br \/>\nEnjoy the baseness and severity through<br \/>\nWhere is their valour where is their care<br \/>\nWhere is their nurturing<br \/>\nThey are not aware<br \/>\nTheir passionless bodies and their loveless way<br \/>\nSo unlike their victims who they expect to pay<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Animal
