fighting and the so called fiesta in Sabong"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Medieval madness<br \/>\nBrought forward to this day<br \/>\nThe total insensitivity<br \/>\nOf making animals pay<br \/>\nNone of us are immortal<br \/>\nAnd chickens lives are short<br \/>\nSo picking them up and using them as weapons<br \/>\nAs a sport<br \/>\nIs degrading of the spirit<br \/>\nIt comprehends to those<br \/>\nPeople without brains to use<br \/>\nClearly the blood that flows<br \/>\nThrough their miserable bodies<br \/>\nDoes no good at all<br \/>\nThey are anything but human<br \/>\nAnd such practices do gall<\/p>\n<p>Anybody seeing this<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s cruelty and pain<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s insanity and depravity<br \/>\nAnd there is nothing to gain<br \/>\nFrom any of this behaviour<br \/>\nTo participate just means<br \/>\nThe combatants are evil<br \/>\nMore akin to machines<\/p>\n<p>The agony this causes<br \/>\nAs they are thrashed and what we see<br \/>\nIs feathers torn a&#8217;sunder<br \/>\nAnd bruising now must be<br \/>\nCausing lacerations and blood loss<br \/>\nAnd I know<br \/>\nThis abuse is awful<br \/>\nThat it is part of some show!<\/p>\n<p>Tells me of the mentality<br \/>\nOf the people<br \/>\nClearly a lack of connection to the whole<br \/>\nWhat is there that is logical<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s energy misplaced<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s torture of the most vilest<br \/>\nAnd general distaste<\/p>\n<p>Destroying living animals<br \/>\nIn this dark and awful way<br \/>\nBy use them as bludgeons<br \/>\nIs the violence of dismay<br \/>\nSuch roughness such severity<br \/>\nIt overwhelms us all<br \/>\nTo see this as a kind of game<br \/>\nPlayed by the worst of fool<\/p>\n<p>And at a place where audience<br \/>\nPartake of the light<br \/>\nWatching as each cock is smashed<br \/>\nIn this chicken fight<br \/>\nThe inhabitants are equal<br \/>\nTo the gladiatorial mess<br \/>\nI see before me on this page<br \/>\nAs bringers of great stress<\/p>\n<p>Upon a flying bird grabbed by its feet<br \/>\nAnd thrust into another&#8217;s face<br \/>\nNothing is discreet<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s agony personified<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s a blank mind that we see<br \/>\nEmpty headed thoughtless goons<br \/>\nWith what is such infamy<\/p>\n<p>Proudly working cocks into a fight<br \/>\nToo it is wrong<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s all debased and ugly<br \/>\nAs is the growing throng<br \/>\nOf gambling rogues and others<br \/>\nWho imagine what they see<br \/>\nIs sort between two fighting cocks<br \/>\nBut it&#8217;s truthfully agony<\/p>\n<p>Blood lust and aggression<br \/>\nForcing souls to be<br \/>\nVictims to the madness that is human<br \/>\nWe can see<br \/>\nTheir judgement it was shot away<br \/>\nThey haven&#8217;t got a clue<br \/>\nThey are ignorant as the day is long<br \/>\nThat has to be my view<\/p>\n<p>The ineptitude of the organisation<br \/>\nThe senselessness we feel<br \/>\nIt really is ridiculous that it should appeal<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s for morons and for crackpots<br \/>\nThe lunatic fringe maybe<br \/>\nThose who see no meaning<br \/>\nIn created life so free<\/p>\n<p>They purport to be human<br \/>\nThis illogicality<br \/>\nThey are clearly raving lunatics<br \/>\nSuch intelligibility<br \/>\nMarks them out as idiots<br \/>\nBlithering away<br \/>\nUnutterable conclusions<br \/>\nThat never go away<\/p>\n<p>Now to the handsome animals<br \/>\nWhat did they do wrong<br \/>\nThey were created to be alive<br \/>\nReally for so long<br \/>\nHaving determination<br \/>\nTo do what they should do<br \/>\nNot be picked up and used like a hammer<br \/>\nSeverely abused all through<\/p>\n<p>You can feel the lamentation<br \/>\nall those crying sounds<br \/>\nScreaming tears a falling<br \/>\nThe audience though drowns<br \/>\nOut the cries and wailing mourning<br \/>\nThe ugliness of sin<br \/>\nThe winner is the warrior<br \/>\nWhose chickens dead a spin<br \/>\nAround and then the neck is broken<br \/>\nSo all the chickens die<br \/>\nRidiculously discourteous<br \/>\nSlaughtered where they lie<\/p>\n<p>They truthfully are noble souls<br \/>\nThoroughbreds in fact<br \/>\nAnd we allow the humans race<br \/>\nIn our name to react<br \/>\nTo them so disproportionate<br \/>\nSo shameful that we do<br \/>\nLook away and pretend is doesn&#8217;t happen<br \/>\nWhich is
