The slaughter apparently
is all about fur
the soft silky skin
that makes wearers purr
seals in the sanctuary
lying on sand
are beaten to death
with a pick in one hand
then stabbed in the throat
till they vomit and cry
coughing up milk
just where they lie
this is an infamous crime
for I’m sure
infanticide grips
a criminal
more
spread around badly
is a sickening sight
its a great act of violence
that can never be right
Africa vomits too
at this ordeal
the darkness surrounds
every baby, they feel
frightened and worried
but what can they do
just sit there
and wait
till their just smashed in two
all the pelts going to Australia where
the Turk takes the lot of them
he trades in despair
treating them stitching them
curing them too
and charging a fortune
to fur hags like you
I say that glibly
I cannot think
anyone buying a coat
where’s the link
who would be, so evil., to
wear one, and
know where it came from
out there on the sand
its a terrible business
a most callous act
the villain’s who do this
it is a fact
are paid not a lot
and they murder for that
acting with menace
that’s where they are at
and the tourists come flocking
to see the seals, they
are in a sanctuary during the day
and then in the evening
the killing begins
that’s when Namibia
works with its sins
the blood it then flows
the snot and the chyme
so many babies
lost for all time
licenses granted
to kill yes again
but
those perpetrators
will all die in pain
they will for they must
its unjust
what we see
all these sweet infants seals
murdered
mercilessly
if its not for the money
what is it for
just to murder the wild life
just to pay an old score
the humiliation of babies
so young
slaughtered in cold blood
their giblets then hung
out for the seabirds to
form the entrails
and imagine the agony
that seldom pales
into insignificance
and out in to space
Namibia’s tourists
the human race
are on vacation
are having a break
on the skeleton coast
where the bones
now do bake
where the inner skin frizzles
and the nursing milks froths
a great incubation
supplied by the moth’s
