The Tiger V Big Coal (a story of India)

Tiger Tiger’s brimming might
He’s so at risk from further blight
Big Coal wants to rape and tear
And it so happens big Cats are there
They prowl around, a’ dodging those
poachers yes those so and so’s
who ambush Tigers late at night
and kill them for their bones
the fight
is on. with Chinese Medicine
already their numbers are wearing thin
but now BIG Coal is about to mine
Tear down the forest and under line
the sentences on Tigers who
will perish clearly that’s my view

Its not a happy scenario
but then the corporate world does grow
the public perception of what goes on
outside their little world, and upon
other continents clearly means
that the local activists and greens
have little attention from Europe who
is bogged down in its economic stew
the banksters and the weaponry
and Nuclear Power insanity
but wild ones everywhere now see
their habitat dwindling rapidly

its not just Tigers, its people too
The indigenous tribes its all askew
Palm Oil, Crude oil, Natural gas
even the Arctic’s pristine mass
is going through the corporate hoops
and if we protest
they call in the troops

Tiger Tiger’s brimming might
Blake knew better and he was right
In his classic poem, He
talked of Tigers and let them be
In India Big Coal says they
Want to tear the trees away
want to destroy the habitat
and Tigers are just Cats
If human beings are kicked off of land
what chance have Tigers, understand
This brave new world is corporate owned
and we all have has just been loaned
