Tortured torn and broken
\nIt\u2019s body racked with scars
\nWounded by the heavy cart
\nIt was pulling
\nSeeing stars
\nFeeling grief and sorry
\nFor the enslavement every day
\nObviously sore and suffering
\nFor very little pay
\nLife had become a struggle
\nThe owner failed to see
\nMaking her carry heavy weights
\nIt was clear He ignorantly
\nWorked her like a pack horse
\nHer suffering couldn\u2019t see<\/p>\n
A gentle man he noticed
\nThe limping and the pain
\nAnd remonstrated quietly
\nThat the man of cloth refrain
\nLet him have the work horse
\nObviously of course
\nTo rescue it from the ardour and what was
\nThe violent force<\/p>\n
Removed the heavy harness
\nCleaned and treated all the wounds
\nLoved and patted its head and body
\nCared and gave some care
\nSuch a relief beyond belief
\nThe method that was used
\nTo force the horse into slavery
\nJust frantically abused.<\/p>\n
How fortunate a stranger
\nShould recognise its plight
\nAnd come and save the animal
\nFrom its hellish fight
\nCreamed up feeling rested
\nFrom the suffering and pain
\nAble to get its breath back
\nAnd rest and actually gain
\nSome strength <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
