Look at us now
members of zoo’s
we ate red meat once
But Sadly the news
From far far away
in South Africa where
once there were fruit farms
and now our despair
is rampant alas
trophy
hunting places
now farming Lions
with peculiar faces
we get little wild meat
its boiled chickens, we
have to contend with
and so we now be
in caged up tedium
where monotony
exists uninterestingly
our misery.
our kingly strengths
usurped alas We
heavy with guilt
insipid you see
Our brethren brothers
targets for those
vile trophy hunters

now it’s barbed wire
coops full of chickens

dosed up with drugs

living in squalor
the stench of the cell
ravaged and wrinkled
our lives are just HELL
weaker by the day
waiting to be
shot by the
So called
hunters
