Hunting for that beloved trophy
\nA business that attracts those who
\nAre taken in by the philanthropic
\nFiction
\nRewarding what they do
\nBushmeat its the locals who
\nAre rewarded for the work they do
\nThe hunters with their where for all
\nWho provide wild food
\nAnd they pay to school
\nAgain the local tribes
\nWho can
\nIndulge in a permaculture plan<\/p>\n
Without the great white hunters
\nThey
\nMost would starve
\nThats what they say
\nThe safari clubs
\nAnd the shooting farms
\nThe holiday package
\nWith all its charms<\/p>\n
A proper ethos
\nDown the line
\nFortuitous you see the sign
\nAble to kill wild animals and
\nCreate a footing on the land
\nA hero in so many ways
\nA connectedness
\nWorthy of praise
\nA logical argument
\nOften spouted
\nWhen the true ideas
\nAre sometimes outed<\/p>\n
A price list or a hit list
\nShowing
\nThe animals all of them a glowing
\nReference to the promised kill
\nA holiday requiring skill
\nThe beloved trophy
\nA living soul
\nA godly call
\nA promised goal<\/p>\n
Many canned the expression for
\nAnimals trapped and drugged
\nUp for sure
\nEasy meat rolled out and ready
\nHold your rifle better steady
\nThere\u2019s the Lion aim and shoot
\nA petted caged drugged
\nSoul to suit<\/p>\n
One of the big game
\nGuaranteed
\nThats the trophy yes indeed
\nA tragic tale of doctored souls
\nOnce they were kings
\nWith honoured roles
\nBut now just caged up
\nIn a zoo
\nBrought out to be killed
\nBy the likes of you<\/p>\n
You are doing Godly work
\nThe sick the injured
\nSome they lurk
\nThats what they tell you
\nBut what you get
\nIs unrelated
\nThose souls were set<\/p>\n
The skin is sold
\nThe bones shipped to
\nVietnam thats what they do
\nThe Lion Bone Tiger Bone
\nMedicine trade
\nDiscordant notes
\nare sadly played<\/p>\n
Its all a package
\nAnd animals die
\nShot to death
\nYou just apply
\nSigned the paper work
\nPay the cash
\nAnd get to the place
\nIts arranged in a flash<\/p>\n
Trophy hunting
\nA giraffe will do
\nMuch cheaper than Lions
\nAnd good meat
\nIts true
\nEasy to kill
\nAnd many are
\nSo many in fact
\nThat this superstar
\nIs fading fast
\nWhich is such a shame
\nBecoming rarer
\nAnd we can blame<\/p>\n
Trophy hunting
\nFor that alas
\nThe photo shoot
\nThe trophy mass
\nThe power the exultation there
\nA beautiful soul
\nAnd you did dare
\nTo stand in front
\nAnd aim and feel
\nThe ground as it shudders
\nNow for real<\/p>\n
All that flesh for the locals who
\nKnow in their hearts
\nAnd can thank you
\nTheir saviour, your money
\nIt Compensates
\nThe death of a animal
\nNow at the gates
\nOf heaven again all thanks to you
\nThe trophy hunting
\nTrue guru<\/p>\n
Your eminence
\nYour supremacy
\nYou are seen in the ascendancy
\nYou what that is
\nYou believe its true
\nWhen reality
\nShould prove to you<\/p>\n
You\u2019ve been conned alas
\nA supporting role
\nCant you feel the shabbiness
\nA small time role
\nIn the drama playing
\nIts awful here
\nUsed and abused
\nAnd all that fear<\/p>\n
The integrity is minor they
\nHave tossed the wholeness clean away
\nThe all embracing hunting scene
\nIs a put up job
\nIts far from green
\nIts a mean construct
\nThe whole bang shoot
\nFormless and sketchy
\nAt its root<\/p>\n
The natural order
\nBy the board
\nHarmony cancelled
\nNo accord
\nUn regulated
\nEmbroiled in grief
\nFor me it feels
\nBeyond belief<\/p>\n
And parts of the animals
\nStuffed and returned
\nAs ornamentation
\nI am concerned
\nIts weird its evil
\nIts wholly wrong
\nAnimal parts
\nOf course belong<\/p>\n
To the wild souls romping where God put them<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
