10 Emperor Penguins

Mother Nature plonks you down

in Antartica

thats the place you are expected to

live your life in icy blasts of snow and ice

winds that moan and scream

 good to be true

their social order clearly very close knit

this is how they are  and what they do

stocky sentient souls

with a myriad of roles

all part of a rather significant crew

they march along together

this bird army

they can withstand

whatever hits their face

and these 10 birds are sold off

to the great Sea World

I think this

is just a real disgrace

who the hell do they think they are

to do this

pluck them from their habitat of choice

Mother nature put them there

to live at their experience

not in some laboratory of despair

its ignorance personified

and arrogance

these poor birds shot away

to hotter climes

its all to do with money

and the slaves who taste the honey

it has nothing to do with the Penguins

and the rhymes

the reason its all dollar bills

be sure of it

science takes a step back

in this ,we

watch them and forget them

as they lose their home forever

and end up in a foreign laboratory

Snow and ice and violent winds

is how they are

a bright blue sky

and ice bergs in the sea

stuck in some plastic room

inside all their days

really truthfully

is not how it should be
