New Bones for old bones

Reality being what it is

with Tigers hunted out

India and Sumatra

see such a massive rout

The Chinese Traditional Medicines

use Tiger bones, and

Ossis Tigris pays the price

its concentrations stand

it doesn’t take too much to see

and begin to understand

in the present market place  the one

we’ve come to know

that in Afrika the Lion is hunted

Canned hunting does grow

Farmers in South Afrika with homes

and vast tracts found they

could substitute their Lion  bones

and that would surely pay

and as Tiger bones were drying up

they just could not resist

the great con of the century

it just could not be missed

flog the kill to those

repulsive  hunters

they became the first part of the show

they just pay for killing them

then sell their bones onto

the Traditional Chinese Market

it all made  sense

to do

the crooks get on to all of this

and the average Tiger Cake

sells at $1000

but what if it was fake?

what if its only Lion bones

the difference who would know?

add a bit of Turtle shell

and Monkey, and it does grow

the margins are  significant

on all counts so to say

the hunter and the Chinese Traditional

Medicine lot would pay

The South African’s they sell the flesh

as bush meat and the skin

so the average Lion’s an investment

based on the vilest sin

canned hunting the anathema

which goes against the grain

for slaughtering wild animals

it  clearly is insane
