The Royals

I am flummoxed by the attitude

of the younger Royals today

William wants to destroy the ivory

so the papers say

Harry killed a Buffalo

shot it in its prime

they go out hunting

now and then

and do not care a dime

for wild boar it goes silent

then suddenly we hear

they are talking up

the saving of wild life

it is clear

they have no clue

of where they stand

for killing is their thing

and Brian May sees through

the maze

and to the table he does bring

the sense of it

the hypocritcal stances that we see

they all seem to be at it

hunting tragically

I can’t respect them for this

they are clearly in both camps

killing and then spouting

appearing to be champs

in saving the wild species

it sounds like balderdash

anyone who can shoot

a buffalo dead

that life can trash

what the hell was he thinking

testosterone on fire

the Royals to me are hypocrites

their position remains dire

going out and killing

wild birds and bovines

tells me they are evil deep down

for they are the signs

not of angels I can tell you

severing a life

and posing for a photograph

the finality and strife

caused to the dead animals

their loved one’s left alone

somewhere grieving for them

possibly unknown

but suffering that emotion

simply, so they can say

we went out in the bush

and shot a Buffalo today

The Royals in fact speak with forked tongues

the believe they have the rights

to kill and yet be spokes people

for animals their sights

are in the clouds for certain

not in the real world where

people who love animals

are so much more aware

its true it was  10 years

ago

but the boars were killed

this year

so if there has been a change of heart

its really none to clear

of where they stand

and if they care

or not

it feels to me

perhaps a statement

from them both

regretting the killing spree

its just a suggestion

at the moment how can they

be out there saving animals

what does it really say?
