The raptors lament
\nIt\u2019s the wildest of cry
\nTrapping the beauties
\nIt\u2019s really no lie
\nThey are out there
\nProtecting the red grouse
\nThey say
\nDriven they are driven
\nTo making it pay<\/p>\n
The glorious twelfth
\nWhen it happens to be
\nShooters are out
\nFor their bag
\nIt their key
\nMotivational guide
\nWith their money and nouse
\nThey are shooting their way
\nThrough the beautiful grouse<\/p>\n
Here we see a hen harrier
\nStolen away
\nTrapped in a contraption
\nAnd and been made to pay
\nFor predation a risk
\nTo the grouse moors alas
\nAnd the making of money
\nWhich to my mind is crass<\/p>\n
They are crimes and the shooters
\nMost are aware
\nScotland is at it
\nThe wing and the prayer
\nReducing the risks
\nTo the finest of game
\nThe red grouse
\nAnd shooting it
\nIs great they claim<\/p>\n
Murdering scumbags
\nThat\u2019s all they are
\nSport of the kings
\nAnd the moorlands afar
\nThe rich and well heeled
\nAre out there all day
\nSlaughtering birds
\nThat get in their way<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a lack of intelligence
\nIf you ask me
\nA low mental age
\nImbecility
\nThere\u2019s nothing glorious
\nAbout killing birds
\nIt\u2019s short sighted and unseemly
\nMy play on words<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
