am just one dog"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>A blissful existence<br \/>\nIs earned from many aeons<br \/>\nOf life thats experienced<br \/>\nWhere it is we be<br \/>\nIn South Korea where the car makers<br \/>\nKIA, and Samsung have built up<br \/>\nTheir prosperity<\/p>\n<p>Countenanced truthfully out of the aura<br \/>\nOf animals lost in great pits of insanity<br \/>\nIniquitous casualties slung in the maelstrom<br \/>\nThe most heinous crimes and this you can see<br \/>\nIn Seoul and Pusan in the markets so many<\/p>\n<p>I am a dog, a pet dog I am collared too<br \/>\nThrown in with the &#8220;shit&#8221; dogs<br \/>\nAll canines all true<br \/>\nI have a name and a street where I once lived<br \/>\n&#8217;til I was abandoned to the butchery man<br \/>\nTry to imagine being woken at Dawn<br \/>\nand taken<br \/>\nTo the market with just so much scorn<br \/>\nWhat had I done wrong I had always been loyal<br \/>\nI never barked loudly I messed on the soil<br \/>\nAte what I was given and guarded the home<br \/>\nDid what I was told and never did roam<\/p>\n<p>I was their perfect companion but I<br \/>\nWas taken one morning to Gyeondong, but why<br \/>\nI asked myself many times why me why me?<br \/>\nTossed into a small cage and thats now where I be<br \/>\nWith about ten others,  yellow dogs they<br \/>\nAre smaller than me but now we all stay<br \/>\nClosely together wrapped up in our stink<br \/>\nMangled together how do you think<\/p>\n<p>It feels to be like this,  stuck in the street<br \/>\nWith piles of dead dogs in the blistering heat<br \/>\nThink on it KIA Think on it Samsung<br \/>\nYou depend on the Westerners and other far flung<br \/>\nMarkets abroad for your lustful desire<br \/>\nFor all that rich currency so you can retire<br \/>\nBut what of us animals where do we fit<br \/>\nIn the great scheme of things in your latrines of shit<\/p>\n<p>Possibly you in your enclaves of power<br \/>\nImagine your market place under a shower<br \/>\nOf blood sweat and whiskers of mayhem and ill<br \/>\nBut us dogs have hearts and souls and<br \/>\nHad no wish to spill<br \/>\nOur blood in the alleys of Pusan or Seoul<br \/>\nI was a companion that was my role<br \/>\nAnd now one  of two and a half million each year<br \/>\nWho goes to my death with the worst kind of fear<\/p>\n<p>Again some old people have the mistaken belief<br \/>\nThat by torturing us and causing us grief<br \/>\nThat makes for a tastier meal for you all<br \/>\nAnd by sweating us up, it will make you feel cool<br \/>\nAnd so you subject us to hell upon earth<br \/>\nYou feed us on filth giving rise to rebirth<br \/>\nOf the vilest of viruses and bacteria too<br \/>\nCounteracted with antibiotics a view<br \/>\nOf the less medically trained the butchering class<br \/>\nWho heap pill after pill truly its a farce<\/p>\n<p>So those who now eat us will be riddled with germs<br \/>\nOur flesh and blood is so packed with worms<br \/>\nTo undermine those of you who do consume<br \/>\nThe maggoty wickedness out of our tomb<br \/>\nThousands of restaurants billions of dollars<br \/>\nEgregious treatments for those who had collars<br \/>\nCorruption depravity flagitiousness too<br \/>\nI cry every second thinking of you<br \/>\nAll my unworldliness my state of grace<br \/>\nIt is imprinted all over my face<\/p>\n<p>The villainy and the obliquity here<br \/>\nThe suffering and the sin-laden fear<br \/>\nAll of us feel as we wait for the call<br \/>\nDragged out of the cage thrown against the wall<br \/>\nHung up and beaten where death comes so slow<br \/>\nOr electrocuted or hung we can&#8217;t know<br \/>\nWhat method you use to finish our life<br \/>\nWe just know you want to give us more strife<\/p>\n<p>Hanging there all alone with thoughts,  we still think<br \/>\nHow we once were so happy but now all this stink<br \/>\nAll this blood,  all this snot, and this vile attitude<br \/>\nAnd the great boiling pots where our puppies are stewed<br \/>\nI hang there a parallel universe,  where<br \/>\nI hear more sweet puppies burned of their hair<br \/>\nScreams that go through me like a blade through my heart<br \/>\nThis is Korea do you hear will you start<\/p>\n<p>To think you are making so much from us all<br \/>\nExporting your cars and machinery haul<br \/>\nYour hearts to this place,  where I hang to await<br \/>\nDeath where your butchers have measured my fate<br \/>\nAnd the fate of so many who cared and who are<br \/>\nLost in your wickedness possibly far<br \/>\nFrom your mansions for we were loyal citizens too<br \/>\nAnd for all of our love this is what you do<\/p>\n<p>You are involved you are culpable too<br \/>\nYou have transgressed you are part of the brew<br \/>\nAnd its inexcusable and unpardonable for<br \/>\nYou rich directors to just close the door<br \/>\nOn the dog meat trade now operating around<br \/>\nImpregnating your bowels and destroying the ground<br \/>\nPerverting the spirit misleading those who<br \/>\nSuccumb to your adverts like so many do<\/p>\n<p>I Own a C&#8217;eed my friend a dragon soul<br \/>\nWe are British subjects and it falls that our role<br \/>\nIs to peer into your aura your spirit your heart<br \/>\nAnd I have to say I don&#8217;t know where to start<br \/>\nI just hope that the dog I just wrote about<br \/>\nHas reached into your being<br \/>\nAnd left you,in no doubt<br \/>\nHow much it hurts us to know what you do<br \/>\nNot just design lovely cars but murder,  I rue<br \/>\nThe day that I went to the dealership,  and<br \/>\nPicked out these cars with my very own hand<br \/>\nAnd now realise that back in Korea<br \/>\nHuge numbers of companion dogs die in such fear<br \/>\nThey die horrid deaths at the hands of the few<br \/>\nAnd Kia is aware and perhaps part of that too<\/p>\n<p>I feel sick to my core it grips me to say<br \/>\nI bought into South Korea and I now pay<br \/>\nA terrible price for your improbity<br \/>\nFor your lack of conscience that you may not see<br \/>\nThe total injustice the complicity<br \/>\nThe honest betrayal and skullduggery<br \/>\nYou have vast empires built from our sweat<br \/>\nBut in heaven my friends you have a great debt<br \/>\nThe canine brigade how they suffer so<br \/>\nI call on ANUBIS to listen and show<br \/>\nThe whole world whats happening<br \/>\nBOKNAL has to be<br \/>\nClosed down forever or KIA Will see<br \/>\nSuch a backlash such a down turn<br \/>\nGreat waves of dissent<br \/>\nFor our business with you up till now<br \/>\nWas well mean&#8217;t<\/p>\n<p>I expired on that chain in that dark bloody hole<br \/>\nPerhaps some of you will pray for my soul<br \/>\nMy collar was still around my neck by the way<br \/>\nProving my worth for your judgement
