The mindset of a killer

There was a time when farmers
In South Africa grew fruit
And then they heard about
LION BONES And money is at the root
Of all the scandalous pastimes
And the TCM route felt
Doable and many of them
Like the cards they dealt

They had to work a system
That paid out at both ends
Farming lions petting zoos
The message that all sends
Volunteers from Europe
And America will pay
To work with baby lion cubs
Clearly that was a way

So farm the lions
Let the cubs
Tame them in a way
Then put them into enclosures
And advertise a day
For so called hunting people
To come and join the fray
An all in package of hunting
Bagging a male lion in a day

Get into the mindset of these so called fools
Straight out of some city street
Buying meat from malls
Who might do a spot of fishing
And who knows if we sell
Using social media
Our profits we can swell

Produce a lovely web page
Guarantee a kill
Then give them all a price list
Then pump up the thrill
Of coming out to vAfrica
Of killing in a day
No stalking through the
Sweat and heat
Just driving on the day

Collected from the airport
Everything on tap
A bit of rifle practice
Everyones a sap
They will part with their money
Most of it ill earned
Taking advantage of others
Thats what they have learned

So canned hunting
And trophy hunting
It was born the day
The farmers gave up growing fruit
And learned another way
Of getting great big bank accounts
With margins in the sky
Kill the animals
Skin them and their bones
Shipped where high

Premiums are possible
Shipped out as tiger bone
Into the chinese market
Where paradise is sown
To vietnam for processing
Monkey and tortoise shell
Mixed up with the lion bones
And then sent onto HELL

Tiger cake except there is no tiger
To be found
And they have made a killing
born out of the ground
And we can get these idiots
And boost their ego’s high
And even hang the carcass
In a tree facing the sky

Just do it get the thirty grand
And perhaps another punt
If they bring their wife a giraffe maybe
It does sound like a stunt
But its the way to sell it
Game hunters come and see
Anything you choose to kill
Comes with our guarantee

And we will ship your trophy home
Taxidermy here
All the shipping sorted
Everything is clear
And so they come in droves
To prove how manly theyg all are
They have the expectation
That back home they will be star

In the local rifle club
With a tusker or a lion
Or a crocodile whatever
Anything is fine
And so these bad ass
Hunters
Decked out in all the gear
They got the designer camouflage
Shitting themselves with fear

They go out on safari
And a lion is put in place
Drugged up to the eye balls
Realities disgrace
And so the great kidology
Is working overtime
Its all a big illusion
As the artfulness does climb

High fives one dead animal
Photographs all round
Stick it on social media
Fake hunting, they were bound
To be ripped off these so called hunters
Imposters through and through
All involved in murdering wild life
For that is what they do

And, by their ambivalence
And perversion of their soul
They promote this evil farming
Thats now out of control
Petting farms for the ignorant
The whole malarkey here
Is one of such mendaciousness
And cruelty and fear

The spivvery is paying though
Huge dividends abroad
People are being ripped off
Which the wirld cannot afford
The animals are being
Disrespected everyday
Its cruelty personified
In every single way

The so called hunters
Duped ofcourse ripped off
Some might see
Others will just puff and blow
With jiggery pokery
Skins and teeth and bones
And eyes its terrible to say
How much is being ruined
By this evil everyday

And so we see before us
A victim of this here
Hanging on the tree a lion
Who didnt feel the fear
Having been around the humans
Ever since he was a child
But No one in their right mind
Would see the lion as wild

But the hunters they look happy
Proudly they can say
They spent all day a tracking
That wild lion
And display
Its handsome body hanging
Tragically in a tree
And All of us should work hard to get it banned
Now urgently

CANNED AND TROPHY HUNTING
Cruelty and terror for all involved
In this spurious treachery
