Gorillas and children
\nZoo\u2019s everywhere
\nCages for ages
\nWhere actual despair
\nIs farmed out and daily
\nInsincerity
\nA worthless life
\nAbject venality<\/p>\n
Children can Cosy up
\nGet near and see
\nFamilies of great apes
\nDisinterestedly
\nAbject and shabby
\nDisparaged and sad
\nFed on zoo shit
\nAnd all looking bad<\/p>\n
And the children see great apes
\nDejected. They be
\nTheir babies are ragged
\nIt\u2019s a tragedy
\nFed on rotten cabbage
\nWildness is gone
\nWilful neglect
\nI cry when they don<\/p>\n
Sadness their faces
\nTears everywhere
\nUnfitting and unwarranted
\nNo one to care
\nZoos are just prisons
\nGreat apes they be
\nThe living stock
\nWho will never be free
\nTo love and to live and to
\nClimb and to see
\nZoo\u2019s are for sinners
\nSo forbearing they be<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
