It\u2019s all about selective cross breeding
\nSo to say
\nMan dapples and manipulates
\nEverything, it\u2019s his way
\nA bird becomes something to race
\nA sport a gambling tool
\nA way to all make money
\nFrom a bird who is no fool<\/p>\n
They are programmed And obedient
\nHoming that\u2019s the word
\nA big dollop of Arrogance
\nand ignorance Absurd
\nI might sound so
\nTo pick oneself a favourite
\nAnd be sure
\nTo give choice nutrition
\nAnd just never ignore<\/p>\n
These birds built up on falsehoods
\nFive hundred miles and more
\nExpecting them to all comeback
\nAnd the first back wins for sure
\nA lot of Notes for its owner
\nBut what you have to know
\nIs 500 miles of weather
\nFrom sleet sunshine and snow
\nThe strong winds and predation
\nCan put the dampers On
\nLots of them don\u2019t make it
\nIt\u2019s cruel and we are upon
\nA world that seems to want to
\nTake advantages for fun
\nJust ruin their family life
\nThat\u2019s what we have done<\/p>\n
It\u2019s going through the motions
\nPlayacting so to say
\nJust taking advantage
\nAnd the pigeons pay
\nSplit up from each other
\nSplit up from the eggs
\nMade to fly a mArathon
\nOn tiny little legs<\/p>\n
Up against the time lines
\nThe weather risks are high
\nThe idea is to fly like mad
\nNot test and that is why
\nMany fall by the wayside
\nThey never return
\nAnd some Are killed by
\nTheir handlers
\nNow tHats what I learn<\/p>\n
They are Absolutely desperate
\nTo get back to their home
\nIt takes a lot of discipline
\nAnd ones eyes they have to comb
\nThe cover and the underbrush
\nEverywhere they go
\nComplacency kills
\nand the challenge
\nReally it just fills<\/p>\n
Up with our emotions
\nThey live out in their coop
\nBut still resemble families
\nAnd don\u2019t wish to be soup
\nSubjecting them to dangers
\nfor many don\u2019t come back
\nEaten by the raptors
\nOr forced into the sea
\nThis,enthusiasm of race is
\nShocking.thats if you ask me<\/p>\n
But money passes hand to hand
\nThe odds are tight you see
\nIt\u2019s really very very cruel
\nAnd really shouldnt be
\nEvery single creature
\nWhen we are in the picture they
\nGet their dose of corvid before they
\nFly away<\/p>\n
Abandonment is common place
\nIt\u2019s risky all that way
\nAnd all of this for accolades
\nAnd death
\nLots forced to pay
\nFor the birds it is pure stress I think
\nTo reach up to the sky
\nAnd realise 500 miles
\nIs how far you must fly<\/p>\n
I mean there is nothing of them
\nJust feather and a beak
\nA couple of legs
\nAnd their innards
\nTheir might seem at their peek
\nBut leaving home
\nLeaving their mate
\nAnd resting can\u2019t be bad
\nAnd so of course they
\nTry to get back
\nWhich is very sad<\/p>\n
Man is far from kind I feel
\nalthough words like mankind
\nShould be removed from dictionaries
\nSo many lose their mind
\nAbusing all the animals
\nFishes and the birds
\nSubjecting them to bondage
\nI am left without words<\/p>\n
PETA is going frantic
\nAt the carnage and the need
\nTo Really top all this abuse
\nFor we know that it does lead
\nTo a pitiful existence
\nFor otherwise wise souls
\nDo end up as our lackeys
\nOr worse still some rissoles<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
