YUPI

Coming into this world
The miraculous way
I slipped out of my mother
And into that day
The sky was as blue
As it ever could be
And the snow was so white
I could hardly see

It was cold it’s was fresh
It was where Inshould be
In the land of the glaciers
Close to the sea
MY mother was beautiful
And so was I
Placed in a spot
To just quietly lie

Bears and your essence
Was clearly to be
In a world with few people
Staring at thee
In a wild wilderness
Where freedom did rule
She was so big
And I was so small

It was a privilege
Just to be there
But tragedy struck
For there in our lair
Came hunters the vile brood
And that great bond they broke
Slaughtered my mother
Just at a stroke

I remember her growl
And the ice was All red
From her blood loss
Alas my mother was dead
I had lost my parent
On that awful day
When the darkness descended
And took me away

MOrelia Zoo was the new home for me
Designed for a grizzly that I could see
A heavily chlorinated swamp and all bare
And the sun was so hot just to be there
Baking and taking my body to task
The thick shield of blubber I began to ask
Why would they put me here it shouldn’t be
I need the cold climes and the colder sea

But this is my fate twenty years
Of this pain
Left in the dark my life so in vain
Brutally hot the violence became
Part of my life and my end game
I remember my mothers leyes closing that day
I remember the hunters who stole me away
I recall that their stink was fetid and vile
Which I never have been able to in fact reconcile

And now I am old I am wasting away
They promised to move me that’s what they say
But with so much violence outside the zoo
Nobody comes here really that’s true
And the heat is oppressive it’s awful to be
Roasting on this concrete this hell hole for me
If there was a god surely he would try
And get me away from here before I die

Why did they shoot her and just leave her there
Why take me away
A young polar bear
It made no sense such a futile embrace
My broken heart and their lack of grace
Aggressive and ignorant that was each day
Shooting and killing and making us pay
So they could feel powerful
And think they were strong
But reality proves to me
They all were wrong

Mexico’s hot unbearably so
And for me there is no where
That I can go
No shade at all and water that smells
They never change it
It’s one of the hells
Of being around human beings
For they
Have no idea of the natural way

It’s all about profit and thats every zoo
How can a polar bear really live through
Such evil and horror
And malevolent thought
They lack all conscience
Their care factor nought

Will somebody help me
Get out of this hole
20 long years for a tired wretched soul
Who prays to the heavens most every day
That death with his sickle
Will cart me away

I am hoping my eyes will not open
Tomorrow
The zoo will not care
No cause for sorrow
I will be dead and suffering no more
Which the rest of the world
Will just ignore

I am just a bear a prisoner who
Became a victim of the hunters who do
Murder and maim and they do it for fun
I was moved from the ice
To live under the sun
To boil and to roast and to suffer such pain
After I am gone please don’t do this again

ZOOS Are an anathema they insult humanity
And they have not the slightest idea about
Placement and creation.

They are corporates who care about the pursuit of profit
At all cost. We are the victims of this evil.

From the grave we beg you to realise
