Human Monsters.

Swaying elephants stuck in concrete tombs,
Snakes in boxes and caged baboons.
Giraffe bent necks chew cut bough,
dancing bears afraid to scowl.
Chicken squashed pecks her breast,
battery shocked ,so she lays best.
Rabbits skinned to make some coats,
horses whipped to win some notes.
Cloning sheep we have a peek
at how far WE can go.
Searching for a cancer cure...
the little creatures must endure,
for answers just MIGHT flow.
Human ear graft on a rat,
cosmetic tests on skin of cat.
Tiger balms and deer perfume,
Moon bears nose ring tugs her doom.
Baby Harp seals feel clubs blow
their warm red blood tainting snow.
Hippo horns for horny lies,
tapping bear bile ,trapped...he cries.
Poachers stealing ivory tusk,
deer are shot just for their musk.
Harpoon whales,
snip dog tails,
burn on brands
tag on bands.
Cut their trees and cage the birds
cull the wild and thin the herds.
Bludgeon bulls in abattoirs,
kill koalas with our cars.
Oil slick oceans,(dark zoo pits,)
net the dolphins (torn to bits.)
Stick a lion’s head on the wall,
stuffed... to decorate the hall.
Buffalo and moose heads too,
'restaurant décor(just for you.)
Boil the water, boil the pot,
toss in lobster...(squealing 'hot’)!
I can’t watch it anymore,
can’t we stop this awful war?
Can’t we see that there SHOULD be,
a planet SAFE for THEM to BE?
Animals... birds... and fish,
protect them, please, this is my wish.
All of them have feelings too,
why must HUMANS be so cruel?
Why must MANKIND cause such blight,
ignoring things we do?
causing pain,
we hurt...we maim,

WE....should be ...'The ZOO!
