They refused to even listen
\nDespite my soulful cries
\nI mean I was a Polar Bear
\nWho loved the bright blue skies
\nThe ice caps and the frozen seas
\nThat was my dream time where
\nCreation put me gave me a coat
\nAnd made me most aware<\/p>\n
And then they came to trap me
\nAnd take me far away
\nFrom the ice caps
\nFrom my natural home
\nTo a concrete hell
\nThat day
\nI never could forget
\nThose greasy men
\nWho basically
\nTook me from my heaven
\nFrom the ice caps and the sea<\/p>\n
And put me in a concrete cell
\nAnd it’s really as hot as hell
\nI sweat so much and was hopeful I
\nCould lay me down to sleep and die
\nIt wasn’t right what those men did
\nReally someone should lift that lid
\nGive me back the ice and snow
\nAnd the natural diet that I know<\/p>\n
But sadly it got worse and worse
\nNobody was there to nurse
\nMy agony my inward pain
\nThe struggle and the awful strain
\nAll day I sat on a concrete floor
\nUntil my bottom it got raw
\nI was ever so hot and terribly sad
\nTo be here at all in this concrete pad<\/p>\n
Dead fish and flesh they gave to me
\nAnd hosed me down ocassionally
\nBut it was uncomfortable and it was wrong
\nIn this shit hole I did not belong
\nWith people staring at me all day
\nShouting expletives as they went on their way
\nWith freedom something that I now had lost
\nThe wide open spaces and where I was tossed<\/p>\n
Just a concrete cell a smallish place
\nI wanted to hide not to show my face
\nForlorn and stressed it wasn’t fair
\nWhy the hell did They take me there
\nAt night I dreamed of the cold again
\nOf the pretty penguins and their refrain
\nOf catching fish in the icy sea
\nAnd of seals who said Hello to me<\/p>\n
Of the lack of people and the wilderness
\nOf the purest snow and the lack of mess
\nWhereas here there was litter and bottles about
\nAnd the smells were just dreadful Left in no doubt
\nI hated this zoo this violent place
\nWhere animals cry and are lost without trace
\nIt’s a horrible existence being here
\nAnd all of which brought the heightened fear<\/p>\n
Apart from the heat and the lack of breeze
\nIt’s filthy and dirty if you please
\nNozbody cared for me I was alone
\nInside of me was that constant groan
\nI had bugs in my fur biting me, they
\nLived on my blood which took me away
\nTo the sea to the ice to the heaven I knew
\nAway from this hell so bad it’s true<\/p>\n
I know many animal rights folk out there
\nSigned the petitions I was so uaware
\nOf some of you humans marching for me
\nBut this lot in here were bad frequently
\nHorrible to me always they’d swear
\nForget to feed me I am a bear
\nIt’s true but I have a heart and a soul
\nAnd I have feelings now hard to control<\/p>\n
Yes I am aggressive but inside I cry
\nYes I was a man cub but I wish to die
\nI just hate it here and if these folk don’t hear
\nWhat is the purpose to me it’s not clear
\nThere isn’t a purpose nothing at all
\nAll around me just another wall
\nNothing thats living And I so miss the sea
\nI really am livid that I have to be<\/p>\n
Something to stare at as I slowly die
\nYes I’m getting thinner you want to know why
\nThe food they are feeding me well it is dead
\nIt stinks it’s all slimy I am going out of my head
\nDeath if it comes is a godsend to me
\nThese zoo keepers really they don’t want to see
\nMe feeLing nappy the nature of zoos
\nIs just to make money nothing to lose
\nI am a number a nothing a bear <\/p>\n
Wasting away and no one to care<\/p>\n
So tomorrow I am praying to Heaven above
\nTo take me away to a place that I love
\nTo the great arctic sea where the orca’s now sing
\nTo the ice caps and ice floes and all of that bling
\nThe diamonds of frost that clung to my back
\nThe seals that I dug in the ice for the knack
\nOf catching my own food whereever I go
\nAs long as it’s somewhere where there’s lots of snow<\/p>\n
Farewell to you all my dear friends who tried
\nTo help from the sidelines but you were denied
\nI can’t wait for your God to take me away
\nI must want and want to die so Today
\nMy plea’s have been heard by my GOD in the sky
\nHe is lifting me off to a place just to lie
\nIn a great sea of ice with some old friends who say
\nit really is lovely to see you today<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
