today leaves me numb<\/p>\n<p>To the Arrogance out there<br \/>\nThe feeling that they<br \/>\nCan do what they like<br \/>\nIf they choose to pay<br \/>\nIt\u2019s all about money<br \/>\n30,000 to shoot<br \/>\nA Pachyderm tusker<br \/>\nWhich I do refute<br \/>\nGoing for trophies<br \/>\nTo return with the head<br \/>\nTo sample the flesh<br \/>\nThat really led<br \/>\nHim to travel to Africa<br \/>\nYea from LA<br \/>\n10 thousand miles<br \/>\nJust for one day<\/p>\n<p>In reality callous<br \/>\nA heart of stone<br \/>\nAloof and distant<br \/>\nUnruffled alone<br \/>\nWith his thoughts<br \/>\nOn the subject<br \/>\nHe has his  ideas<br \/>\nAnd downing an elephant<br \/>\nHe has no fears<\/p>\n<p>a majestic  soul<br \/>\nSo wanting to be<br \/>\nAlive and experiencing<br

\/>\nAnd just feels that rage<\/p>\n<p>Calls us cry babies<br \/>\nThat some of us care<br \/>\nfor taking the elephants side<br \/>\nHe, unaware<br \/>\nOf the elephants need<br \/>\nTo breathe the warm Air<br \/>\nTo taste the green leaves<br \/>\nAnd to walk everywhere<\/p>\n<p>The elephants joy<br \/>\nMeans nothing to him<br \/>\nHis prodigality spent on a whim<br \/>\nAnd the great heartache<br \/>\nThe waking nightmare<br \/>\nOf an elephant Coming to grief<br \/>\nOn a prayer<br \/>\nOf the Crane Driver Hunter<br \/>\nWhose killed many souls<br \/>\nStalked them and murdered<br \/>\nThem, taken the roles<br \/>\nOf assassin because he had money<br \/>\nAnd he<br \/>\nCould spend it how he liked<br \/>\nEnding lives constantly<\/p>\n<p>It took five shots<br \/>\nTo kill the elephant who<br \/>\nHe shot in the head first<br \/>\nAnd it sunk, as some do<br \/>\nOn its knees crying out<br \/>\nIn such pain little thoughts<br \/>\nPassing by rapidly<br \/>\nFor now he sports<br \/>\nA raging he fires three more shots<br \/>\nTo the head<br \/>\nOver three minutes<br \/>\nBangs in the  lead!<\/p>\n<p>The victim falters<br \/>\nThat pain it was fierce<br \/>\nHis suffering wretched<br \/>\nThe bullets did pierce<br \/>\nThe angst and the anguish<br \/>\nHis one tortured eye<br \/>\nSaw the crane driver hunter<br \/>\nBefore he did die<\/p>\n<p>The creep took his time<br \/>\nAnd the elephant knew<br \/>\nSuffered in silence<br \/>\nLike turning a screw<br \/>\nIn ones  brain but the killer<br \/>\nWas satisfied he<br \/>\nWas the greatest of hunters<br \/>\nEnabled and free<\/p>\n<p>He has his excuses<br \/>\nIt\u2019s good what he does<br \/>\nHe spends his hard earned<br \/>\nAnd he gets a buzz<br \/>\nAs the largest land animal<br \/>\nTeeters and falls<br \/>\nHe hears its last rumble<br \/>\nAnd know that his balls<\/p>\n<p>are bigger than cry babies<br \/>\nOne such as I<br \/>\nWho watch and Who listen<br \/>\nFor the victim, I cry<br \/>\nIf big balls equates<br \/>\nTo a heart made of stone<br \/>\nThan I feel very proud<br \/>\nTo also be alone<\/p>\n<p>Then To hack off its head<br \/>\nTo be stuffed and sent back<br \/>\nAmerica ought to stop trophies<br \/>\nThey lack<br \/>\nTrue sensitivity<br \/>\nCadavers and more<br \/>\nI hear that in fact they Are changing<br \/>\nThe law<\/p>\n<p>And although he paid 10,000 dollars<br \/>\nTo stuff<br \/>\nThe elephants head<br \/>\nEnough is enough!<\/p>\n<p>They chopped up the animal<br \/>\nAnd so I hear<br \/>\nHe ate some steak chewed it<br \/>\nUp, all of that fear<br \/>\nAll that adrenaline<br \/>\nAll of that hurt<br \/>\nThe crane driver hunter<br \/>\nWill never convert<\/p>\n<p>Cry babies thankfully<br \/>\nAnd Peta will see<br \/>\nIf they can force hunters<br \/>\nTo cease urgently<br \/>\nThe animal tribes<br \/>\nHave as much right to be<br \/>\nLiving their lives<br \/>\nIn a true harmony<\/p>\n<p>Where Elephants die<br \/>\nAnd others will come<br \/>\nTo pay their respects<br \/>\nAnd of course some<br \/>\nWill feed on their flesh<br \/>\nWill chew Bone and skin<br \/>\nAnd it\u2019s soul will be
