The Maasai are up in arms
and why wouldn’t they be
Tanzania is rippling its muscles
we see
600 square miles
of a wild life corridor
they are setting aside
and we all know what for
next to the Serengeti National Park
and the conservation area
Ngorongoro
no lark
thousands of Maasai
told they must go
from their homes
and their farms
its going to show
Tanzania up for what it does do
encourage the hunters
the canned hunters too
Ortello Business Corp
a UAR team
will get the concession
and thus all the cream
we know trophy hunting is
vile to the extreme
Botswana is banning it
I hear the scream
of Afrika rising above the marula
the baobab trees
where the branches are cooler
we have to realize
Afrika cries
canned hunting is evil
the collective sighs
of the maasai people
who know it is bad
Tanzania your error
of judgement is sad
avaaz throws its gauntlet
down into the sand
the world will respond
for we are a band
pf people who care about people
who care
and Afrika cries loud
now in despair
