Ivory orphans or just such unfortunates
\nelephant babies now sold
\nZimbabwe is selling whats left of its soul
\nFor a portion of that Chinese gold<\/p>\n
Around \u00a340,000 pounds for each baby
\nThat is the going rate they
\nGet clearly blood money thats what I say
\nAnd the elephants babies will pay<\/p>\n
The ankus or bull hook is being used
\nDespite their tough hides we all know
\nA smack in the face, is a smack in the face
\nAnd their problems can now only grow<\/p>\n
Africa is land of the elephant tribes
\nNot china indigenously
\nThere are no elephants roaming the wilds
\nBut soon they are going to see<\/p>\n
elephants raised for the circus and zoos
\nWild ones contained in some shed
\nThe Chinese are taking the mickey for sure
\nAnd sadly some will end up dead<\/p>\n
From the last batch seven out of eight
\nHave already perished oh dear
\nThe zoo wasn’t ready and in quarantine
\nThe poor little souls died of fear<\/p>\n
And honestly they are just babies
\nTorn from their families its wrong
\nZimbabwe its judgement is clearly so poor
\nElephants really belong<\/p>\n
In Africa and with their families
\nNot in some far away zoo
\nStared at by people and fed god knows what
\nIts a crime really what they now do<\/p>\n
Animals really what chance do they have
\nThey are just slaves to a cause
\nShipped off like cargo to live far away
\nAnd nobody really does pause<\/p>\n
The money looks good in the new bank account
\nAs the elephants are shipped away
\nEveryones happy except the poor ele’s
\nOn a slow boat to China some say<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
