they Stalked the Bush
\nThey quietly rose
\nTo roar at night
\nAnd to suppose
\nTheir place was gifted
\nIt was where
\nThey surely chose
\nTo breathe the air
\nLaos did sensationally
\ntrap and snare successfully
\nVillainous minds
\nDeserted far
\nMischief-makers
\nSeldom star
\nPetty tyrants
\nCausing pain
\nDehydration
\nPerhaps again<\/p>\n
Our tigers traipsed
\nThey were trapped and lost
\nIt was our unfeeling state
\nThat cost
\nTheir heartlessness
\nTheir severity
\nTheir pounds of flesh
\nFor humanity<\/p>\n
We were ruthless
\nAnd persecuting
\nQuick to smother
\nDeath by shooting
\nOur intolerance
\nSet us up each day
\nTo the cruel and merciless display<\/p>\n
We have lost our tigers
\nOne by one
\nThey perished
\nIn the noon day sun
\nOur revengeful fight
\nOur thankless way
\nWe killed them off
\nAnd everyday<\/p>\n
Spitefulness came to the fore
\nWe connived together
\nIn the war
\nOf the unavenged
\nWho lost their way
\nThe hatchet job
\nThat made them pay<\/p>\n
Where was their justice
\nIt\u2019s illicit course
\nThey were won over
\nBy the force
\nThey didn\u2019t trespass
\nIt was us
\nWe threw them all
\nUnder our bus<\/p>\n
They were never willing
\nSuch churlishness
\nOne after another
\nJust no redress
\nOur resentment made it clear
\nTigers were not welcome here<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
