Poor little Marius

A surplus Giraffe

called Marius

they gave the soul a name

kept  him 2 years then decided

his genes were shit

the same

ideas  zoo’s tend to

have because

let’s say it didn’t suit

but taking on the thoughts of other zoo’s

seems not astute

for them the little soul

might not have been the way to go

its genes were shit we understand

the principle

the show

has to go on but  clearly

 if other zoo’s would be

less discerning then I have to say

it seems to me

to see a young soul sold on

rather than exclaim

that you will use a captive bolt

and kill it as fair game

and then arrange a dissection

inviting families to

come and see the epectacle

for me that can’t ring true

Marius was a little soul

a giraffe an innocent who

happened to  be  nnfortunately

in the Danish Zoo

who decided he would have to go

the lions would benefit

as would others so it seemed to be

which to me seems utter shit

the corpse laid out and cut up

rapidly and fed onto the Lions

who normally would eat horse meat

not the best of signs

the  giraffe and  hope they appreciate

the subtleties perhaps

I believe it was  a corporate

view

thats wasn’t kept under wraps

it was purely a decison

based on profit which to me

when dealing with a life

a babies life

lacked empathy

creation is a lovely thing

and death a final cut

whatever they say about it all

to me inside my gut

is a feeling of such sorrow

for a little soul who tried

to live its life  as normally

but alas it was denied

and so its dead and cut up

and has been used to feed

the Lions

a life was simply wasted

on a coin flip

and those signs

for me are clearly arrogant

its life was worth much more

than killing it so rapidly

and my ask  is whatever for?
