Clovis and the Prairie Dogs

Prairie Dogs, Coyotes Wolves and Kangaroos
wild souls who hold the wilderness as there’s
are up against the ranchers and the farmers
who have their own agenda’s and affairs
The Meat Trade has such power and with it influence
money profit it greases the wheels
and if you happen to be one of the voiceless one’s
few around is hearing their appeals
Clovis is a place out in New Mexico
a cruel streak runs across this place
for they
the ranchers they are powerful and the prairie Dogs
are a bloody nuisance, so to say
they need to be exterminated quickly
change the laws so private land owners too
have to kill the wild dogs even on their land
this is what the ranching people do
what happens in the minds of those so stilted
their only thought is money and that’s it
as to the wider world and how it operates
in a nutshell it just doesn’t sit
anywhere in their perceived emotion
anything that risks what they believe
has to go, has to be got rid of
it has no bearing and thus it can’t achieve
and so they talk up war against the voiceless one’s
they talk of plague they frighten and the fear
of harm to one and all creates confusion
and with confusion well of course its clear
the Prairie Dogs are going to feel the agony
they are going to get the bullets fast
like the Coyote and the Wolves they are up against it
the die in fact apparently is cast
the Clovis representatives are adament
they go along with the ranchers and they say
Yes we have to slaughter every wild soul
that happens to come by they kind of play
into what is power and what is money
but the ranchers kill the stock the steer we know
its feeding into the Meat Trade
and the corporate point of view
and this damn movement’s views just seem to grow
a few around these parts know of the value
of the wild one’s and their journey on this land
they know that really we are all connected
and by so being so they understand
but money tears the heart out of the principle
warriors are no match in a sense
the mass can come down hard on simple activists
and that is when the the whole thing can get tense
The people in the government need reminding
they are for the people and they must
serve the wider environment remembering its need
or could face calls that really breach their trust

The Prairie Dogs will suffer in the short term
the hunters will be after them for sure
trigger happy 4 x 4’s will catch a few
for them I guess there needs to be a war
but in the end the people must remember
the wilderness is the safety valve for all
when you lose it or abuse it it can back fire
and the Prairie Dogs are part of that sad call

I urge the people rally around and save them
don’t let the ranching people take control
the wilderness must survive the ranching corporates
for if its lost that’s forfeiting your soul
and that will bring far reaching consequences
the big wheel needs each cog for it to be
everything to everyone its true in fact under the sun
Lets the Prairie dogs, lets them be free
