In the presence of animals
\nOne clearly feels
\nA givenness as a matter of fact
\nIt reveals
\nA whole lot of questions
\nWhy the sacrifice
\nWhy abandon the laws
\nTo protect in a trice<\/p>\n
The fox looking after the hen house
\nAppears
\nFutile and foolish
\nIt raises the fears
\nIn most peoples minds
\nBut the tories they say
\nCut the red tape
\nLet the animals pay<\/p>\n
The pathological journey
\nTo profit and loss
\nWith a stock holding of animals
\nAnd with the boss
\nTaking a share of the business
\nWhere he
\nCuts out the welfare
\nAnd invariably<\/p>\n
Thats when the contact is lost
\nAt a sweep
\nThe ethos of caring
\nWhen the profiteers reap
\nDividends clearly
\nReducing their cost
\nBy reducing their workforce
\nWhen procedures are lost
\nThats when frustration and unkindness appears
\nSo this is misplaced
\nAnd it raises my fears<\/p>\n
Leaving the corporates to police their own
\nIs leaving the criminals
\nTo do it I groan
\nIt will not work but it suits them to try
\nThey get their backing
\nAnd we all know why<\/p>\n
Already the farmers the CAFO brigade
\nAre cruel and unhelpful
\nThere is no parade
\nOf caring or sharing
\nThey short cut and we
\nWatch the secret videos
\nAnd cry naturally<\/p>\n
Frustration and short cuts
\nThe slaughtering does
\nCause terrible suffering
\nWe hear the buzz
\nThe tears and the blood sweeping down
\nFrom on high
\nBut the TORY ministers
\nDo not know why<\/p>\n
They are not sentient
\nNot any more
\nThey want to repeal fox hunting for sure
\nWild animals in circus
\nHare coarsing too
\nChasing the deer they know what to do
\nAnimal rights and experimentation
\nThey want to see more
\nIts their relation
\nShip with the corporates
\nThat gives them funds
\nThat keeps them in government
\nAnd truly stuns<\/p>\n
The vast opposition
\nWho work for us all
\nBut actually nowadays
\nThey all heed the call
\nOf the new world order
\nThe great banking men
\nWho call all the shots
\nAnd tell us all when<\/p>\n
The privileged class
\nMP’s salary
\nAnd bloody expenses
\nOn top actually
\nThey are the new toffs
\nLicking arses of those
\nRich farming conglomerates
\nAnd CEO’s<\/p>\n
We animal rights angels
\nWe set them back
\nOur secret cameras
\nWell they attack
\nThe ethic of business
\nThe AG Bills abroad
\nWe really all are what they cannot afford<\/p>\n
So criminals then police
\nThemselves and we
\nWatch all animals slaughtered
\nWho be
\nEven worse off than now
\nThats for sure
\nIn reality once again
\nWe are at war<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
