Such ignorance such selfishness
\nZimbabwe what to do
\nYou were gifted pachyderms
\nTo live their whole life through
\nA so so social being
\nIntellectual suicide
\nWhere is your lateral thinking
\nTelepathy aside<\/p>\n
A baby needs it\u2019s mother
\nDeep thought and reverie
\nSelf communing meditation
\nDay dreaming constantly
\nAnd you an experienced country
\nCreation trusted thee
\nWhy uninterested
\nHow now can that be<\/p>\n
Unconcerned and apathetic
\nTo the overcurious way
\nYour duplicity and disregard
\nIt\u2019s flippant I would say
\nTo just pay no Attention
\nTo the baby and his need
\nThey truly love stargazing
\nAnd you know where that can lead<\/p>\n
Oblivious of danger
\nAlways lost in thought
\nEngrossed and then diverted
\nWhere evidence is sought
\nTo concentrate on financial gain
\nIt\u2019s unworkable for me
\nThe likelihood what it will do
\nIs destroy the family<\/p>\n
Forlorn hopes bring sadness
\nAnd true uncertainty
\nWhat will be a difficult future
\nVacillating constantly
\nThere is no force of argument
\nNo rationality
\nThe elephants are wondering
\nWhy they have to be<\/p>\n
Split up from their mothers
\nAnd shipped so far away
\nReally what grounds are there
\nJust to look the other way
\nHow can they hang together
\nBeing worlds apart
\nEyes so full of tears in fact
\nAnd a broken heart<\/p>\n
A flaw in the argument
\nMisled and left to pine
\nDue to short-termism
\nThere life time on the line
\nYour one track mind
\nMisjudging
\nTheir fallibility
\nYou are so unrealistic
\nSome reason you can\u2019t see<\/p>\n
Perhaps that light-bulb moment
\nWhen credibility
\nKicks in and they lapse
\nInto a world of weird na\u00efvet\u00e9
\nLost in a foreign country
\nBlundering about
\nLonely and deluded
\nUncorrected and in doubt<\/p>\n
No authority to speak of
\nExcept the bull hook and
\nThe frantic and the angry
\nThat comes from either hand
\nWhat is cruel disappointment
\nFrustration and regret
\nunfulfilled expectation
\nThe clock alas seems set<\/p>\n
On humiliation
\nOn denial all the way
\nThe teaching makes so little sense
\nAnd just brings me dismay
\nZimbabwe you upset me
\nDisturb me through and through
\n125 babies shipped in eight years
\nDown to you<\/p>\n
Mistakes made and repeated
\nDeceitfulness is high
\nSwindling skulduggery
\nThat really mystify
\n125 babies their falsetto
\nI can hear
\nAll their sobbing undertones
\nSpeak loudly in my ear<\/p>\n
The CITES went as follows
\n87 in favour of stopping elephants being shipped off to overseas zoo\u2019s
\n29 against not be allowed to ship them
\n25 abstained so basically we\u2019re cowards<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
