Leather tell me whether
\nyour’e wearing it
\nyou must remember
\nthat it is dead skin
\nsomeone else’s skin
\nsure its not human
\nbut would it matter to you
\nthe great din<\/p>\n
you fail to hear
\nbecause of course
\nits far away
\nthe Holy Cow of India
\nit clearly had its day
\nsold off to the Tanneries
\nwho march these cows
\nabout
\nbash them if they fall
\ndown
\nthe role of a would be
\nlout
\nsoulless nasty
\nbits of work
\nthe weakest
\nstand no chance
\nthey are beaten
\nmercilessly
\nwithout a second glance
\nnever fed nor watered
\npushed onto great trucks
\nand crammed inside them,
\ntragically honestly it sucks!<\/p>\n
crush injuries are commonplace
\nits hell on earth al’right
\nbut many die a frantic death
\nbefore they will alight
\nthose that are unfortunate
\nenough to still be alive, when they
\nreach the bloody slaughterhouse
\nthey won’r survive
\ntortured, and cut to pieces in front
\nof others, they
\nare not shown any mercy
\nblunt knives are used
\nno way<\/p>\n
to treat another earthling
\nits brutal,its total sin
\nskinned whilst some are still alive
\nand in front of them they pin
\ntheir own skin on a frame
\nsome turn, and see it and must feel
\nthat they were born in man made Hell
\nwhich for them was very real<\/p>\n
their skin starts to go rotten
\nit starts to decompose
\nand needs chemical treatments
\nwhich in themselves then pose
\nrisks to the poor workers
\nmostly women, who
\nare often, waist deep in water
\nbecause that’s what they do<\/p>\n
Chromium, and other undesirables
\npotent substances
\nare needed to
\ncure these dead cow skins
\nand there are health effects
\nmany young girls die
\noh! yes they do<\/p>\n
so you can buy your jackets
\ncool man arn’t they cool
\nso you can buy your trousers
\nfeel good yes you fool
\nso you can by that flashy belt
\nto keep your trousers right
\nso you can buy your designer bags
\nand look good out at night<\/p>\n
all the major players
\nhave Indian leather, they
\nare making a killing
\nand at every stage, okay
\nthe animals, the workers
\nand now their margins too
\nthey really take the proverbial piss
\neven folks from you<\/p>\n
But then you are the market
\nthe gullible,those who
\nwear the dead skin next to your
\nskin
\nthat is what you do
\nyour shoes don’t they look shiny
\nyour boots, gals don’t they feel
\ngreat now with your mini’s
\ndead cows skin for real<\/p>\n
remember all that torture
\nremember all that pain
\nand you, yes youre’the reason
\nHow do you feel you gain
\nwalking down the high street
\nyour pretty dead skin
\nboots
\ndo they really make you feel
\ngood deep in your roots?<\/p>\n
Perhaps next time you’ll think
\nit through
\nwhat it is you buy
\nhow you are responsible
\nand why you do not cry
\nto see a holy animal
\nwhose spirit was to be
\npeaceful chewing grass
\ninto infinity<\/p>\n
but then sold off
\nand walked miles and miles
\nin fact till most got lame
\nnot fed, and not watered
\ntortured yes the same
\nfrightened injured
\nkicked about tails broken
\nits the game
\nthat’s played now out in India
\nthe corporates for you
\nthis is what is happening
\nthis is what they do<\/p>\n
What I ask this morning
\nis next time when you feel
\nyou want to buy a pair of shoes
\nbegin to use your brain
\nand think it through
\njust what it cost
\nAre you still wearing Leather
\nif you are then you are lost<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Leather please think before you buy its dead skin and it costs so many lives Continue reading
