Trophy hunting and how they play it between themselves

Apparently there is a relationship
Between some government ministers and those
Possibly bankers and industrialists
Whose urge to go hunting still grows
The trophies the canned hunting business
Its corporate squalor gone mad
And importing trophies to display on their wall
Is altogether quite sad

Blood sports attract the well to do
So theres pressure on government
For many are true to themselves in this quest
To slaughter and kill
Wild birds and foxes
And wild rabbits too
The royals they are at it
Cruelty reigns
It appears on their menu’s
So many chains

Of thought and of action
Stick in their craw
Canned hunting africa
Who does ignore
And very nice bounty
Big game can be
Delivered provided its paid for
For thee

LIons are the kingpin
And South Africa can
Put on a show for political man
Who won’t make the time
To go stalking but will
Bag a white lion to just get that thrill

They have money to burn
And a canned hunting team
Can lay it all on
And make someones dream
Come true
The intensity
A stepping stone to get what they want
And do it alone

Like minds are at it
The successful ones
They dont need any gear
They supply the guns
A professional hunter
Will be by their side
Holding their hand
And upping the pride

Its a cruel nasty business
Unnatural as hell
But it brings in big margins
And compensates well
Those parties who know
Its low life who farm
Its criminality and it does harm

The animals suffer
In innumerable
ways
Drugging, teeth pulling
Everything pays
For the export of bones
To the far east now where
More exploitation occurs
its unfAir

Apparently the government
Yes really they
Are in the thick of it
So i hear say
Circus and wild animAls
Hunting as well
They seem to be into all of this
Hell

So tying to talk them around
Does Seem to be
At the very least an Absurdity
Their lifestyles are rich
And designer attire
A cut above us with so much more fire

They hold high positions
With very good pay
Froficient at what they do
everyday
In defiance of some
They will do more and more
The success and their conquest
Is what its all for

They have the authority
And the whip hand
They can get the time off
And they do understand
How to behave and how to invite
Themselves everywhere
Whether a day or at night

Its the toffs who do hunting
The toffs who like game
Its what you know
Its who knows what you know
Whose arse you kiss
And if your in the flow
Or taking the piss

The EU is up there
They all like to hunt
Its sort of like golf
They pay for the stunt
The exhilarAtion of bringing it on
And old Lion with a mane
Or a buffalo gone

And all of the paperwork
Sorted so you
Can import your trophies
As good hunters do
Taking this in to account
It will be
Hard to ban trophies
Its a package you see

How can you get to them
When from a child
They have been into killing
Souls from the wild
They see that as comeliness
Its what they do
And gettIng to parties
They can meet up too

Whaling fox hunting
Lion hunting they
In all honesty would look aWay
But its sort of the fashion
A statement today
Who has self reliance
And just wants to play

So we see the objection
And embarrassment
The theatricality
All money well spent
Who knows the publicity
And just come by
Who blow their own trumpet
And meet eye to eye

AT the IWC they put on a brave face
At the UN and elsewhere
You know The case
Is made soundly for what they now do
And let the comradeship come smiling through

VIrginia Mc Kenna born free and the rest
They get acknowledgement really at best
Its social acquaintance
And savoir vivre
Civility too
Which is what you believe

As a women you will get the chance to perform
In a circus of men where the air is quite warm
Theresa May and the others who knows
What kind of life most of them chose
Some do care nothing for wild life thats clear
They are into fox hunting some even cheer

About the repeal
For the badgers as well its daddy who hunts
Or who shoots on the fell
But this trophy hunting its splits the vote
Some look away with a pain in their throat
Others are for it but the water they test
And just play politics really at best
So we shall have to see what comes down
In the pot
Whether they do or do not do a lot
We just have to play it by ear in a way
And go with the crowd and do what they say

Fight the good fight
But there are no rules
They make the decisions
And we remain fools

We are all victims
In this affair
And so many of us
Are just not aware

Its arguable really
Who really wins
And who really pays
For the governments sins

A strong enough poem rated in reality
