There is no honour amongst friends
\nThat much we know is true
\nGreyhounds give themselves away
\nBy running as they do
\nRacing around a track
\nTo catch the non existent one
\nWinning is the only way
\nWhen the day is done<\/p>\n
In Australia the evil
\nThe heartlessness it be
\nRife the strife of failing
\nIs death the breath will be
\nNo more all greyhounds suffer
\nIt gets tougher every race
\nIf you don\u2019t win
\nOr worse get placed
\nDeath comes easily<\/p>\n
Logan\u2019s Run
\nAnd Werina Ace both killed
\nFor being last
\nBroken legs just don\u2019t win races
\nThat when their die was cast
\nThe owners have no pity
\nTheir nobility is shit
\nShady reputations
\nA term that\u2019s bound to fit<\/p>\n
Following this so called sport
\nBetting serves to see
\nAcross the country racing
\nAnd torture constantly
\nSuffering these dogs are killed
\nIf they don\u2019t make the grade
\nFalling out of favour
\nThat\u2019s their stock in trade<\/p>\n
How demeaning how opprobrious
\nFrantically I see
\nAnimals who try their best
\nAnd are injured tragically
\nIn stead of being cared about
\nHealed and rewarded they
\nAre taken outside and shot to death
\nThat is how they pay<\/p>\n
It\u2019s so humiliating
\nThere is no dignity
\nThe irreverence is everywhere
\nSo not a lot to see
\nTo just be taken for granted
\nTo give so much yet fail
\nTo run until your bollocks ache
\nWhen your told to hit the trail<\/p>\n
Loyalty was given
\nThe sacredness of soul
\nRunning like the clappers
\nIn what was a big shit hole
\nThe blankness and the indifference
\nNo eyebrows raised no more
\nJust taken for granted
\nIn what is your homespun war<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
