A
PLEA TO BAN FOX-HUNTING AS AN UPPER-CLASS ISSUE
When a fellow comes and asks you outright, "Is fox-hunting RIGHT or WRONG
?
There is no use of saying lamely. 'THIS IS AN UNIMPORTANT SONG ".
One should use the democratic freedom implied in this request,
Which might be global-altering which I at least think is best.
I was born in a fox-hunting neighbourhood of lovely EDEN VALE.
Where the wealthy upper class with riding horses could prevail,
Over the horseless workers on whom rabbit-trapping might mean jail.
When I look round the world today I see animal cruelty here and there.
Bull fights among the Spaniards would be BETTER not being there.
Cock-fighting and bear-baiting both seem horrible to me
SO "BAN THEM ALL" is my advice for a world democracy.
But GLOBAL PATRIOTISM is not widely spread among chauvinist baboons,
OR a world of semi-civilized savages who revel in national tunes.
Singing songs like "RULE BRITANNIA" or "GOD SAVE THE [British]
Queen."
And anti-global nationalisms the most warlike songs I'VE SEEN.
NATIONALISTIC INDEPENDENCIES THAT OBSTRUCT A WORLD IN PEACE SERENE.
WHAT ON EARTH do national flags do, but arouse wars of nations too.
So say FAREWELL to scenes of fox-hunting if anyone asks YOU..
And remind all that cock and bull practices need extermination too.
Praise TONY BLAIR for political leadership except for USA+UK COALITION.
[We must press for PEOPLE UNITY and a WORLD PARLIAMENT COMMISSION.]
We should all be HUMAN RACISTS since EVOLUTION came our way.
And UNIVERSAL HUMAN FEDERATION is the political constitution for us today..
Let these reflections entertain you and bring all human voters into line
To build a SINGLE GLOBAL CONSTITUTION for WORLD LAW at any VOTING TIME.
We really need one sovereign government to create WORLD PEACE today.
So let us ADOPT THIS VIEW above all others when the questioner tackles you.
