The Chinese scourge of
\ntraditional Chinese Medicine
\nIs hoovering up
\nOur endangered species fast
\nThe pangolin that has roamed
\nThe earth some 80 million years
\nIs coming under fire like crazy
\nand so many tears
\nAre falling from ecologists
\nThey all study them and see how beautiful
\nand unique they are
\nAmazing dears they be<\/p>\n
Unbelievable hands as ancient All can see
\nBut really very effective
\nAt walking which is key
\nOn two main legs tipping to the front
\nThat\u2019s what they do
\nTermite eggs and termites and ants
\nThey love to view
\nAll sorts using their long tongue
\nAnd swallow them like crazy
\nHundreds of them eaten fast
\nYou can\u2019t say they are lazy
\nThey move a long way every day
\nTracking them is hard
\nAnd if they sense some danger
\nThe curl up that\u2019s their guard<\/p>\n
Poachers working
\nfor the Chinese Medicine Brigade
\nMurderers no hearts at all
\nThey buy sacks all weighed
\nout
\nIn scales alone so many
\nanimals hit the dust
\nThese Nocturnal phantoms
\nTheir future is now bust<\/p>\n
It\u2019s Seriously endangered
\nClearly designed to be
\nTheir whole makeup just spins
\nOut of control And we can see
\nThat\u2019s how they get away
\nThat kind of puts their back up fast
\nand they hobble on their way it seems
\nFor them life is a blast<\/p>\n
With exceptionally scaly bodies
\nWhich are ground up into dust
\nMade into the compressed pills
\nWhich surely must disgust
\nThe Chinese their long history
\nGAve us professors who
\nAre about as thick as any brick
\nRemedially now that\u2019s true<\/p>\n
The need for us to stop this
\nTrade in bush meat right Way
\nTo stop buying into bushmeat
\nCan\u2019t the Chinese find a way
\nThe flesh is very costly
\nThe scales can be cracked too
\nAnd running in the open
\nWith a picture of you two
\nWould be rather dangerous
\nReally for kingdom come
\nAfrica is sighing
\nWatching the Chinese scrum<\/p>\n
The smoking and the boiling
\nAnd the scales bagged up and sent
\nAnd all for some fangled illness
\nThat might somewhere have meant
\nThe backward population
\nSold in China to this day
\nWhich Accounts for all this carnage
\nAnd why pangolins have to pay<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
