its rodeo for children
\nLet the sheeps wool grow
\nSo it can then be used to tug
\nSo they don’t fall off you know
\nUnharnessed and unsaddled
\nBare back so to say
\nThe tots get on these ruminants
\nFor the big belt buckle day<\/p>\n
They are out to stay on
\nBeat the sheep who wants them off Their back
\nLearning at a young age to abuse
\nAnd take the flack
\nAnd sowing seeds for rodeo
\nThat is a dying set
\nCowboys In their four by fours
\nThat’s my honest bet<\/p>\n
It’s all about the sponsorship
\nKeeping the golden goose
\nQuacking and attacking the market share
\nAbuse
\nThe calves the Bulls the sheep now
\nAnimals do not need
\nCorporate intervention
\nEver to succeed<\/p>\n
As for children for the novelty
\nTo me it lacks regard
\nSheep are docile creatures
\nTheir lives are more than hard
\nThey don’t need to be ridden
\nhair tugged off their back
\nAll the noise and clatter
\nIt’s an unnatural attack<\/p>\n
For me it is no better
\nThan the bull fighters in Spain
\nAnimals don’t need this stress
\nFor them there is no gain
\nThere’s pain that is a certainty
\nBut gain nothing at all
\nThere freedom to be sheep
\nIs lost \u0175e need to overhaul<\/p>\n
Our minds and our philosophy
\nTo love animals and to care
\nTo join them in the pasture
\nAnd be happy to be there
\nAbsorbing all of nature
\nA pastime to behold
\nNot ride them in an arena
\nFor more tickets to be sold<\/p>\n
mutton busting it’s in coordination
\nAn anomaly if you ask me
\nThere isn’t a salvation
\nTo torturing an animal
\nAnd labelling it as sport
\nBrainwashing little children
\nWho apparently are caught<\/p>\n
Up in the parents maladies
\nPerhaps they couldn’t ride
\nAnd want to see their protege
\nOn the other side
\nProgressing to where they did not get
\nEventually who knows
\nBeaten up by some wild bull
\nWho in panic really shows<\/p>\n
“I practice on my dog”one said
\nAnd sometimes on my dad
\nSo dogs are now abused as well
\nReally to me it’s sad
\nCorporatism’s fingers are now in every pie
\nThey start them young in IOWA
\nFor me I would fight shy<\/p>\n
Children should be children
\nLet’s teach them how to see
\nGet out on the hill tops
\nBreathe fresh air and be
\nPart of Nature’s awakening
\nObserve the creatures who
\nQuietly graze most of their days
\nWhere the skies are blue<\/p>\n
Learn the ways of nature
\nOf predation and Of prey
\nLearn respect for living souls
\nThat share this earth today
\nThe disarray and chaos
\nOf rodeo and strife
\nWhat must be for them a whirlwind
\nOf dislocated strife<\/p>\n
Their focus should be knowledge
\nAnd learning how to play
\nLearning how to get through life
\nMore safely everyday
\nThe miracles are out there
\nThe countryside is wide
\nOpen and to be respected
\nReally from outside<\/p>\n
Fun I heard it mentioned
\nBy adults how can that be
\nAnimals being abused
\nAlready they are not free
\nBeing set up to be tortured
\nWe too feel the pain
\nWhen our hair is pulled a bit
\nTo me it’s all insane<\/p>\n
Animals are sentient
\nThey have feeling and they care
\nNo one wants their hair pulled
\nNo one anywhere
\nAnd sheep are really beautiful
\nQuiet and reserved souls
\nAble to withstand a lot
\nIn their respective roles<\/p>\n
Hardly powerful creatures
\nClimbers to a tee
\nThey can take on the elements
\nThat’s their priority
\nRidden in a rodeo
\nBy children is not their thing
\nPosterity will not reward
\nThem for the crap they bring<\/p>\n
Down on sheep and Bulls and calves
\nIt’s cruel and should not be
\nIt’s really passed its sell by date
\nThe sponsors though are key
\nThey sell whatever they are making
\nInto The market place but sowing seeds
\nWith children is to me just a disgrace<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
