It really was the worst thing that could have happened
man un kind approached us and we knew
we were to be his captives
to spend time in his cages
to experience his torture
but were you
there to see it happen
or did you look away
when he went and put me in his zoo
did you come and pay
to see me in my prison
my family far away
did you care about me
I am stuck here every day
the forest was my home
where I was put where I should be
not stuck in this enclosure
with banana’s thrown at me
they put my hands behind my back
and tied me with a chain
fixed me to a sort of post
and left me in the rain
I don’t want to be here
I want to go back home
I need to see my mother
and once again to comb
through the green wet jungle
to swing across the air
to play with all my brothers
who still its said are there
no one seems to care about us
we become your slaves
a living hell we call it
managed by your knaves
the torture is forever
the climate is too cold
we were born in Africa
and were there until you sold
me into vivisection
thats where I am now
in some university
who wants to find out how
chemicals affect me
they squirt stuff up my arse
the make me bleed internally
and watch me through the glass
I don’t have any privacy
I bleed and you all see
I cry nto my hands each day
for that is how I be
they shave me every other month
and operate on me
cut big lumps of flesh away
I ;live in agony
I don’t know what they are doing
but sometimes I just hope
that they would actually kill me
because I cannot cope
sitting in a cage all day
in pain I have to say
is not what life is all about
why should I have to pay
why do you want to torture me
why what the point of it
and mostly what you talk about
is just so much dumb shit
