Its all about the money nothing else matters

If one really thinks about this
then profoundly speaking they
wouldn’t kill an animal
or hurt it in any way
but of course that’s not the real life
a lot of people do
eat meat and so much of it
but will not kill it too

then there’s those who get a
high
on making their dream come true
its all to do with what they can afford
what they accrue
these canned hunts lets the animals
roam freely in their space
fenced in of course but born to die
whatever the disgrace

of making money killing
or allowing blood to spill
so that you make your business pay
to me gives me a chill
one guy says that he lives
around his animals and he
wants them to be peaceful
and really happily

farms them, its called farming
hunting is the negative side
he doesn’t want you to talk about it
he would rather run and hide
but in fact to me he’s fooling himself
if he thinks that he
is any better than the hunters
who pay him just to be

in the right place at the right time
in the perfect hide
preferably by a waterhole
with a great shot from inside
to see them eating peacefully
till the bolt hits home and they
scatter like you’d imagine they would
for one does pay

the price each animal that goes down
is another victim who
will wake up in the morning
and be pretty clueless too
until the lights go out for him
which may be racked with pain
dependent on the hunters
and their prowess under strain
the talk of their hearts pumping
their breath gets shallow they
must be having quite a struggle
with their mindset do they say
one says its alright get to it
the other says no you
should leave the soul in raptures
not shoot your arrow through

but I think most of these people
do not consider this
a dead soul lying bleeding
appears their way to bliss
they have no feeling for its life
and seem not to discuss
its partner or its children
for them there is no fuss

which leads me now to thinking
they are empty
compassion isn’t what they are about
they have this dream
to me, its more a nightmare
but they have this vision and there’s
little doubt
all they see is a target and they want it
they need that trophy that is what they need
and they come back pretty pumped up if they did it
because they feel somehow they did succeed

the farmer with the animals would seem clearly
between a rock and hard place
but if you
watch the film and listen to what they are saying
its a job and to make it work you do
what you have to
the Americans are paying for your liefstyle
and, all of the animals you see
if there was no hunting according to them
then there wouldn’t be the animals to see

maybe that would be better in the long run
to raise a beast to kill it seems to me
futile in the long run its just a sad commodity
what we hear is inevitability
there is no hope if you are farmed in that way
some budget trigger happy will be here
exchanging his green backs for a big licence
to kill and gradually they do appear

and animals get shot to death and bloody
then the meat is sold to locals who
appreciate the freshness of the meat they get
and in a nutshell there’s another view
some would kill and some would eat the spoils of course
go into to every supermarket we
are eating massive quantities of flesh and blood
but killing is not for you or me

as a vegan I am shocked to hear this
lions and elephants shot down just for dosh
just for the bloody money they get the thrill of hunting
but actually these excuses do not wash
i think a lot of them are really sicko’s
they have the power to kill, and kill, and they
go back to Ohio or some other sodding state
and regurgitate their passion every day
I never ever in a month of Sundays
can understand their true mentality
those farmers so called they are as bad maybe even worse
they sacrifice their animals and be

richer in the profits but they are never prophets
to me to sell one’s soul for money means
keeping killing eating its a kind of cheating
the psyche and as such they are like machines
they lose their human qualities precisely
the carnage follows and the money too
a seven year old she puts away a warthog
and gets a kiss from daddy,there I’m through
I cannot really comment on this practice
all I see is animals in pain
people going on about their philosophy
but really life for them went down the drain

To see a women take out a small antelope
sit in the hide and aim her bolt and see
the arrow flying right into the target
to feel the thump and know that it must be
hurt, and hurt bad, blood is seen escaping
a lung shot with the yellowish blood around
the poor thing probably didn’t know what had hit it
but we could hear its blood lust throaty sound

and probably a long time ago
