Domesticating animals Does sound brilliant People do make money lots of dosh! but this form of migration is hardly our salvation for diseases come to all of us And so it does not wash Cows and Sheep brought Measles which has killed 200 million quite a cost in Human Misery Small Pox came from Camel Pox Pigs brought Whooping Cough Chickens brought us Typhoid Fever Ducks brought Flu for free And now its Ostrich, Emu, Deer and what are we to do Their pandemics will arrive Really thats my view And to Certify is not the way I tell you Destroy their wildness That is not the way The Soil Association thinks it knows a thing or two And farms Organic Salmon come what may Disease is coming Remember now who told you this The wildest creatures must now never be in farmyards and exploited Or our brief time on earth Will diminish in a nutshell rapidly |
