Tigers Lions Rhino’s TCM and China

In Thailand they
picked up a truck
of little tigers destined for
the TCM trade
China best now see
and realise how sure
what their outmoded system
is doing annually

tiny souls given life
to live, not to be killed
China has to realise the blood
that it has spilled
for aphrodisiac potions
for its tired old men
who clearly are so oversexed
on the cats and dogs
so when
with TCM from Tiger bones
Lions Tails Rhino Horn
Pangolin,snake and all the other
wild souls that now are
slaughtered in their thousands
and shipped from near and far
China I won’t visit
until you change your tune
I hope to God you do it
so I can see you soon
