There are almost no words
\nFor the slavery crew
\nWho mounted a mother
\nOut of the blue
\nHacked off her horn
\nWith callous regard
\nFor her infant in tow
\nWho would clearly be scarred<\/p>\n
Mercenaries use of
\ncontemptible force
\nCondemning a calf
\nto death but of course
\nPure malice afore thought
\nFor financial gain
\nPaid by the Chinese
\nWho simply refrain<\/p>\n
In the obvious solace
\nIts family would feel
\nAnd in point of fact
\nTwas a horribke steal
\nOne must ask at what point
\nDo thugs reconcile
\nThat what they have done
\nIs unquestionably vile<\/p>\n
What do they say to themselves
\nCan they sleep?
\nDo they feel guilt
\nWhat they sow Do they reap?
\nThey’re pay day it probably
\nWas squandered away
\nBut are they so heartless
\nMe thinks they will pay<\/p>\n
And then the Chinese
\nIts the TCM mob
\nDon’t they think about Karma
\nSomehow it must rob
\nThe curative principle
\nTherefore it may
\nNot be a curative
\nforce anyway<\/p>\n
As China leaps out of the
\ndark ages she
\nMight consider this slaughter
\nUnnecessary
\nThey are endangered animals
\nin a reserve
\nSo by taking them out
\nlike this
\ndoes require nerve<\/p>\n
But by paying these
\nprobably desperate men
\nIts only a matter of time
\nnow, and then
\nThe world must wake up
\nTo the carnage abroad
\nAnd realize such costs
\nNo one can afford <\/p>\n
A family must pay
\nThe calf stand beside
\nThe remains of its mum
\nAs the vultures are picking
\nher bones, having some
\nPity for this little soul
\nWhose now lost
\nHis guardian murdered
\nThe ultimate cost
\nFor a horn
\nMade of keratin fibre
\nthe same
\nas the nails on our fingers
\nand toes, it sounds lame
\nbut there’s no excuse
\nFor this ignorant act
\nHe’s lost a mother
\nA teacher, a fact
\nThe knowledge it takes
\nFor him to be wild
\nhe is lost in the bush
\nthis unfortunate child<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
