China
\nA land of great mystery
\nA culture as old as the hills
\na huge population
\na vast demonstration
\nOf artistic worth
\nand of skills<\/p>\n
But a people embracing
\na number of myths
\nTCM gets in the way
\nReality opens its market and we
\nSee animals
\nhaving to pay<\/p>\n
The past clearly demonstrates
\nthe need for a cure
\nand though synthetic drugs
\napparently lure
\nThe West where we’re drowned
\nin them, the industry
\nThe great Corporations
\nfeed so closely<\/p>\n
In China, tradition
\nimposes its worth
\nits radical purpose
\nis worked from the earth
\nFrom certain wild plants
\nand from berries and seeds
\nFrom animals, insects
\nand of course where
\nthat leads<\/p>\n
Is into a most murky world
\nactually
\nWhere Black marketeers
\nand gangster types be
\nGut wrenching fear mongers
\nassassins prepared
\nat the drop of a hat
\nto see nothing is spared<\/p>\n
all manner of creatures
\nseem destined to be
\nmurdered and made into pills
\nrapidly
\na huge range of species
\nthe blood and the gore
\nfind themselves targets
\nnow more and more<\/p>\n
As China grows richer
\nIts people can buy
\nInto the market more
\nand can rely
\non more than before
\nthey have money to use
\nand that means more
\nanimals they can abuse<\/p>\n
Though protected by CITES
\nMoney is power
\nand those without money
\nthey soon know how
\nTake Pangolin scales
\nAnd, Tiger bones
\nThe great Rhino horns
\nare setting the tones<\/p>\n
these beasts are now
\nhunted and slaughtered
\nthey say
\nfor the market in China
\ngrows bigger each day
\nHeartless individuals
\nas desperate as Hell
\nearn vast amounts
\nthey are clearly paid well<\/p>\n
For their ugly endeavours
\nand desperate deeds
\nall the while actually
\nplanting the seeds
\nand more and more people
\nare willing to kill
\nrisking so much
\nso they can fulfil<\/p>\n
their sad little lives
\ntheir standards can be
\nHigher than many
\nin the family
\nOld men in China
\nwhose sexual desires
\nare thwarted some what
\nby age, for their fires<\/p>\n
may have diminished
\ntheir, sexual score
\nMay not be as high
\nas maybe before
\nThey will pay in pure gold
\nFor the prize that they feel
\nA soup made from Tiger bones
\nit does appeal<\/p>\n
The horn from the Rhino
\nthough pure keratin
\nis sought after avidly
\nthough its pure spin
\nand so it goes on
\nMany animals die
\nEndangered species
\nsought out
\nsome high<\/p>\n
on the hit list
\nall manner of creatures
\nalas
\nare slaughtered
\nand shipped
\nacross borders
\nenmasse<\/p>\n
Gun toting youngsters
\naround the Far East
\nNow kill on demand
\nFor the great carnal feast
\nthe quest to return
\nto the place of their birth
\nmeans they are now
\nwilling to ransack the earth<\/p>\n
Qi
\nYin and Yang
\nthe forces of life
\nBear Bile
\nThe Musk deer
\nSea Horse
\nsuch strife
\nrains down
\non the creatures
\nTCM does
\nre balance the spirits
\nthe eternal buzz<\/p>\n
Is China on trial
\nHear their massive denial
\nOn Endangered animals who
\nare getting the chop
\nand it just has to stop
\nFor there may be a shop
\nnear to You<\/p>\n
selling these pills
\nand these potions
\nmade out of the parts
\nof some soul
\nwho was gunned down
\nor hacked up
\nand frozen and shipped
\nYes bypassing Border Control<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
