The spoils as it were of the African heart
\nThe odd bits of body
\nWhere would one start
\nThe head and the skin may be
\nThe horns and all
\nWhatever would look right
\nUp on some wall<\/p>\n
The canned hunting loonies
\nWho pay a great deal
\nTo kill the caged animals
\nAnd then conceal
\nThe spoils in some case
\nTo be shipped back to where
\nThey live as fine trophies
\nSo that they can share<\/p>\n
More of their ego
\nAnd failing memory
\nOn some gaming hall
\nIts where they should be
\nSo visitors come and realise who
\nIn the local vicinity
\nActually do<\/p>\n
Go out to Africa
\nWith their best gun
\nTo shoot a wild elephant
\nFor holiday fun
\nTo take up the offer
\nOf the internet mob
\nThe so called safari’s
\nThat murder and rob<\/p>\n
They then use the taxidermist
\nAnd then ship by air
\nBack to where they come from
\nAnd its cleared back there
\nThe trophy sent through to your place
\nFor what is blood money
\nAnd a disgrace<\/p>\n
The airlines that carry
\nThis filthy cargo
\nAnd support the vile hunters
\nWhere ever they go
\nIts a package they buy
\nDoor to door it is called
\nDelta and Air Canada
\nHave over hauled<\/p>\n
Their tariffs and told us
\nThis cargo is banned
\nThey must watch on their waybills
\nFor hunters have planned
\nWays to get around this
\nMis- declaration
\nAnythings possible
\nFrom this location<\/p>\n
This might make it harder
\nFor the evil ones who
\nNeed to get trophies home
\nWell wouldn’t you
\nEager to show off what you have shot
\nSo lets hope as the air lines say NO
\nTo them they
\nWill not see the
\nSense of blowing away
\nAll of these wild souls
\nIt won’t make sense
\nAnd if they mis declare
\nThey will hAve no defence<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
