Its intolerable
\nIts insufferable
\nIts more than flesh and blood
\nCan stand
\nAll these live exports
\nReally theres a flood<\/p>\n
Of interest and of money to be made
\nOf course thats true
\nThe muslims want live animals fresh meat
\nHalal they do<\/p>\n
The EU wants the live trade
\nIt balances their books
\nAll the veg and fruit imports
\nThe meat trade business looks
\nGood, well you can say that
\nThe bloody heartless do
\nThe bureaucrats with little
\nCare, who are cluless too<\/p>\n
The suffering of the animals
\nFor them they are going to die
\nWhy carry them in cotton wool
\nThey really dont apply
\nSense or any seriousness
\nTo safeguarding these souls
\nAnd many suffer lamentably
\nFrom the really poor controls<\/p>\n
Shipping true live animals in trailers
\nIsnt good
\nRoll on roll off ferries
\nTightly crammed they should
\nBe allowed to sit down
\nBut many of them fry
\nStanding in their urine
\nAnd their excrement
\nThats why<\/p>\n
Its totally unbelievable
\nThat farmers and the trade
\nCannot think beyond their noses
\nAnd try to give them aid
\nIts fearful and its painful
\nInjurious as well
\nEach one becomes a martyr
\nIn the shipping term for hell<\/p>\n
Shipping into Turkey
\nAnd all through the EU
\nIn boxes more like ovens
\nThe smell like cooking stew
\nWhile bureaucrats and men in shirts
\nFart about all day
\nPushing bits of paper
\nAnd enjoying the delay<\/p>\n
Their water troughs are often dry
\nOr all filled up with straw
\nOr shit or piss or god knows what
\nIt is against the law
\nBut there’s no one there to police it
\nAnd inevitably the cows
\nSuffer in the summer heat
\nAnd have to for many hours<\/p>\n
The trailers going no where fast
\nAre left to swelter on
\nAnd no shade there to speak of
\nIts a wonder some arnt gone
\nFried in their own urine
\nAnd despite it all we know
\nThe trade is getting bigger
\nAnd it will grow and grow<\/p>\n
Its one great vast conveyor belt
\nOf bodies moving on
\nSuffering and fretting aloud
\nThose now left upon
\nWhat is likened to a pressure cooker
\nIts torture all the way
\nFear and awful suffering
\nWhich infact can be all day<\/p>\n
And being mindful of economy
\nA wretchedness below
\nPenny-pinching tightfistedness
\nAnd some dont want to know
\nThey seem to be obtuse about it
\nSuch inperturbability
\nInsensitive as arseholes
\nThats if you ask me<\/p>\n
Content to count the money
\nMost dont want to hear
\nThe baying and the crying and the choking
\nIn their ear
\nThere is no regret and no relief
\nIts profit all the way
\nAnd despite the angels at the docks
\nThe cops have lots to say<\/p>\n
When we exit this shit hole
\nAnd become an independent place
\nPerhaps we can say to the bloody EU
\nNot part of the human race
\nWe are stopping this transportion
\nEach shipment we lose face
\nThe blubbering and the whimpering
\nIf you look into their eyes
\nSee them gasping for just some air
\nWe have to realise<\/p>\n
These are real live beings
\nWith hearts with minds they feel
\nUnlike the bloody shippers
\nWho verily reveal
\nA heartless mean composure
\nA demeanour of the low
\nDespite the ululation
\nNo one wants to know<\/p>\n
They are angels there in Ramsgate
\nTrying to make those hear
\nBut trucks are coming daily
\nGreat mobile camps of fear
\nThe boys and girls are shouting
\nTrying to stop this trade
\nBut the fluorescent coated coppers
\nReally fail to aid<\/p>\n
Frustration builds and hearts a’ flutter
\nEvery single day
\nWe know the bloody cruelty
\nIts obvious okay
\nWe are catering for the meat trade
\nFor the carnivores who will
\nSlaughter these poor animals
\nYes ofcourse will kill<\/p>\n
Slit their throats no stunning
\nThats the way to go
\nA fearsome awful journey
\nThat ends up with a blow
\nA knife across the windpipe
\nThrottled so to say
\nDrowning in your leaking blood
\nThe means was not the way<\/p>\n
But the coppers seemingly dont care
\nThe shippers they get paid
\nThe truckers are hardly vegan
\nWhen everything is weighed
\nthe farmers left them
\nOn these trailers wiped their hands
\nAnd said farewell
\nKnowing at the end of it
\nIt was going to be pure hell<\/p>\n
But they were paid and thats was that
\nOut of sight now out of mind
\nWnatever happened from now on
\nThe world at large is blind
\nClosed ears to the screaming
\nNobody wants to care
\nAbout the cattle knee high in shit
\nBut the animals are aware<\/p>\n
They know and feel let down by us
\nEach shipment it gets worse
\nTo be an animal these days
\nThey must think its a curse
\nThey know some of the warriors
\nAre out there night and day
\nAn army of the animal rights
\nFighters who do pay<\/p>\n
Attention to their plight
\nTheir serious states of mind they do
\nSome offer water at the port
\nFeelings there ring true
\nBut the rest they make it very clear
\nIts a business And it must
\nContinue always increasing
\nDespite the levels of disgust<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
