The continued artlessness
\nAnd unworldly bias
\nIs conflating zoology
\nNow with a way
\nOf increasing profit
\nWith recourse to care
\nAnd abusing the animals
\nResident there<\/p>\n
Great apes
\nOrangutans
\nPersons of the forest
\nArboreal apes
\nWho live in tHe trees
\nThey do not walk around
\nWith their feet on the ground
\nSo making them do that
\nWont please<\/p>\n
The supporters who come
\nWith some fresh entertainment
\nGetting the apes to box in the ring
\nMake them wear gloves
\nAnd believe this is normal
\nThis is abuse
\nIts a very cruel thing<\/p>\n
Thailand is good at this
\nWeird dark obsession
\nOf getting great apes
\nTo perform in this way
\nClearly their intelligence
\nIs higher than the keeper
\nWho prostitutes morals
\nFor the match of the day<\/p>\n
The apes are in shock
\nBeing forced to do battle
\nIt shows the mentality
\nOf human kind
\nWho is the master
\nAnd who is the slave
\nOf circumstance surely
\nThe zookeepers mind<\/p>\n
He and his board
\nHave a dose of inertia
\nUnconscious unimaginative
\nPassionless fools
\nTaking advantage
\nOf what are wild victims
\nWorked up and frightened
\nAs the audience calls<\/p>\n
There is genuine suffering
\nApes feet can’t take it
\nPain an affliction happens
\nRight away
\nThey are the scapegoats
\nOf warped profiteering
\nNeurotic management
\nWith little to say<\/p>\n
The red ape is intelligent
\nBright as a button
\nHates this castigation
\nThis adversity
\nGetting punched getting kicked
\nGetting smacked getting clouted
\nWhats it about
\nall of this third degree<\/p>\n
Orangutan boxing
\nWe have to condemn it
\nZoo’s of this calbre should face the chop
\nClose them all down
\nAnd imprison the keepers
\nConvict the buggers
\nJust go to town<\/p>\n
Arboreal apes
\nAre joyful and caring
\nIt is the canopy where they should be
\nEating fresh fruit
\nAnd enjoying their labours
\nNot stuck in a boxing ring
\nWorking for free<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
