800 milk cartons
\nThink of the calves
\nThe special tribute
\nNot done in halves
\nCecil the Lion heart
\nHad he took heed
\nOf the dentist called Palmer
\nWho did succeed<\/p>\n
Animals suffer in life
\nAnd in death
\nJohn F Kennedy school
\nYes take a deep breath
\nCecil remains in the hearts
\nOf us all
\nAnd his memory
\nPermeates throughout
\nThe school<\/p>\n
Enticed from his safe place
\nBy a carcass applied
\nTo the back of some truck
\nWhich of course they denied
\nThis vile criminality
\nCorruption it buys
\nIt pays off the powerful
\nThe government guys<\/p>\n
Poor Cecil fell foul
\nOf the man with his bow
\nWho Knows of amalgam
\nAnd how it does grow
\nAs a serious defect
\nIn side our head
\nThis the bold hunter
\nAnd Cecil now dead<\/p>\n
I hope his extraction
\nFrom Africa was
\nAt the root of it all
\nReally because
\nHow thus man sleeps at night
\nOnly he knows
\nAs for the milk cartons
\nReally they pose<\/p>\n
Even more terror
\nFor cows and their calves
\nNothing on earth now
\nIs done by halves
\n800 cartons less milk
\nWent to those
\nWho would have grown bonny
\nAnd really it shows<\/p>\n
How unenlightened the people
\nHave become
\nAfrica frowns looking
\nSo very glum
\nWe wait to see whether
\nThe dentist will pay
\nWill be locked up
\nOr will get his sentence
\nOne day<\/p>\n
The students were figuring
\nOut what to do
\nRecycle the milk cartons
\nIt was their view
\nCecil the Lion at the rainbow bridge
\nSighs
\nPalmer got away
\nOn a whole bunch of lies<\/p>\n
The students alas they drank milk
\nEvery day
\nCollected the cartons
\nThey needed to say
\nCecil was prominent in their psyche
\nBut all those poor calves
\nThat they couldN’t see
\nWere sacrificed really
\nJust so that they
\nCould make Cecil come to life
\nIn this sad way<\/p>\n
800 milk cartons later
\nWe see
\nMore milk was bought
\nFrom the great big dairy
\nNot in the sky folks
\nBut around our feet
\nThe corporate message
\nOf course the elite<\/p>\n
An advertisment
\nFor the dairies for they
\nSaw their profit rise a bit
\nAnd it did play
\nInto their budget
\nOut into the world
\nWhere all these dead calves
\nHad quietly been hurled<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
