Its meaningless its inanity
\nIts nonsensical depravity
\nWe are baulked and thwarted
\nAt every turn
\nAmazed and dumbfounded by what we learn
\nA nebulous outcome
\nWhere vile intent
\nBecomes unutterable
\nIts was never meant
\nBut sadly its happened
\nThe KINGS are dying
\nAs the jungles are cleared
\nSo many are lying<\/p>\n
Making a killing
\nBlood on their hands
\nAbusive behaviour
\nPlenty of fans
\nAmongst the ignorant
\nWho Misunderstand
\nThe truth is concealed
\nIts all underhand<\/p>\n
Its done surreptitiously
\nUp front poker-faced
\nIts not conservation
\nThe route’s not been cased
\nNo one’s confessing
\nWhy is it betrayal
\nIts a business for goodness sake
\nWhy make it fail<\/p>\n
Lions are the kings
\nA rose tinted breed
\nFarm them like chickens
\nWatch profits exceed
\nAll expectations
\nMoney for old rope
\nTarget the hunters
\nThe slippery slope<\/p>\n
It Becomes possible
\nMisinformation
\nPerversion and bunkum
\nPrevarication
\nBreed them create numbers
\nFlog them on line
\nAttract the hunters
\nAnd we can all dine,<\/p>\n
On the spoils on the lies
\nMendaciously
\nTalk up conservation
\nThe world woll agree
\nPetting farms matter
\nIntensity
\nHabituated to humans
\nIs how it must be<\/p>\n
Exaggerate ease
\nThink everything through
\nThe meet at the airport
\nWhatever they do
\nThe hunt and the trophy
\nThe taxidermy
\nIts about the experience
\nThat is the key<\/p>\n
Dont call it canned hunting
\nWe experts can make
\nThe difference we live here
\nWe can share our cake
\nWith foreigners coming
\nWe can raise the game
\nWhatever animal
\nIts all the same<\/p>\n
They get a guarantee
\nWhatever they pay
\nWith a massive black mane
\nOn the very first day
\nEverythings possible
\nThey go away
\nWith photo’s and video’s
\nAnd trophies that say<\/p>\n
They shot big game
\nThey took them on
\nThey came and they conquered
\nAnd now they are gone
\nIt was all conservation
\nOverembellished and wrong
\nA bloody great caricature of the truth
\nNothing they did would belong<\/p>\n
In any sense to conservation
\nIt was greed it was insanity
\nIt was killing the lions
\nAll captive lions
\nThe height of depravity
\nAbuse of a species
\nPatsies really if they only knew
\nSanctimonious nonsense
\nmade to look dumb
\nWhilst feeling a part of the crew<\/p>\n
Canned bunting really is
\nBringing them down
\nTo a level of faking abroad
\nThe perversion is widespread
\nIts playacting nonsense
\nIn effect there just is no reward
\nEveryones fiddled everyones cheated
\nAnd each dies a death by his sword<\/p>\n
SOuth Africa suffers the fall out
\nOn the world stage people know
\nThe iconic animals are being butchered
\nFarmed like the cows they let grow
\nAnd those at it are making money
\nThe wild one’s are stripped down to size
\nAt present some 6000 lions are now captive
\nHoled up in cages their prize<\/p>\n
Basically manipulated a species no longer
\nThe king
\nShot for their parts all with broken hearts
\nOver bred for what it does bring
\nBank accounts full more’s the pity
\nThe wild one’s there are less to be found
\nBones off to China for the TCM crowd
\nConstantly reaching high ground<\/p>\n
Remember the COOK report back when
\nExposure it showed to the world
\nWhat farmers were doing on their way to ruin
\nInto a crime scene they hurled
\nPredator breeding a lucrative pastime
\nIntimidation all round
\nVast swathes of fenced off enclosures
\nThats where the Lions are all found<\/p>\n
Blood on their hand gore everywhere
\nCheating and stealing and more
\nSadness and anguish and complete desolation
\nAnd all of it outside the law
\nProviding a terrible footprint
\nCreation itself now in hock
\nSadly the unhearing and far from endearing
\nWill soon feel the ultimate shock<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
