91 days since 15,000 sheep & cattle began a cruel, unprecedented journey on Iive export ship Bahijah, the survivors finally arrive in Israel tomorrow.
\nWith a cruel slaughter ahead, these survivors are not the lucky ones.

Imagine one of your moments
\nIn one single day
\nThe export ship Bahijah
\nAfter 91 days, the delay
\nThe awful malicious journey
\nThe threats the vile extreme
\n15000 moments each second
\nNote each scream
\nStanding in a filthy hold
\nFrightened out of our mind
\nMany of us remembering
\nWhat we had left behind
\nThe dusty soil the rabid heat
\nThe cruelty abroad
\nTransported down to the export ship
\nIt a dark reward<\/p>\n
That\u2019s right considered cargo
\nMade to walk the plank
\nOut of the light into the dark
\nBy that time thoughts were blank
\nWe feel our hearts are beating
\nAustralia farewell
\nOur home we loved we shall not see
\nAgain as we enter Hell<\/p>\n
A sea journey to Israel being turned back
\nDue to war
\nComing back to hear the shells
\nAnd knowing what for
\nOn our legs all these days
\nFrightened to the core
\nStanding in our excrement
\nAnd breathing it in once more<\/p>\n
Our death sentence was promised
\nIsrael\u2019s kosher death
\n91 days to cogitate
\nThe sweet smell of breath
\nNobody to love us
\nAt the end a kosher kill
\nThe sharp end of a life on earth
\nWhen our precious blood will spill<\/p>\n
Live exports and the freshest flesh
\nThat the Israeli\u2019s could eat
\nStanding in shit for hours on end
\nIt\u2019s enough to unseat
\nThe most courageous animals
\nHell on board was ours
\nFlies and maggots later
\nFor the sheep and of course cows<\/p>\n
We listened to the breathing
\nThe sighing and the crying
\nThe choking there\u2019s no joking
\nThe agony of it all
\nPissing ourselves with utter fear
\nThe stench of hatred it was clear
\nEvery moment of every hour
\nWe felt Israel\u2019s power<\/p>\n
Our Australian Farmers
\nPaid to send us there
\nKnowing how much we would suffer
\nSent without a prayer
\nWith insufficient water
\nWith insufficient care
\nKnowing how much we would suffer
\nAnd pleased they were not there<\/p>\n
Beside us as we weakened
\nTook I\u2019ll and mindfully
\nThought about the end game
\nOur grand voyage on the sea
\nCruising all the abusing
\nFrom the thoughts and fears
\nOur hearts of course being broken
\nAnd our eyes made sore with tears.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
