Animal Olympics (Lion Vs. Buffalo - Africa 2005)

Such a dull and dreary existence So labeled as we’re frowned upon A glutton’s call, revolting resistance As normal a routine as the rising sun Constant hunger, constant need A daily struggle through history Forever grazing, forever feed With hidden agendas and mystery It gets quite lonely being normal At the bottom of the food chain You wouldn’t know, we’re quite informal As we leave crop circles when we train From time to time more often than not We spar to keep our wits alive Stimulate muscles, prepare and plot When real threats come we must survive The challenge is issued, accepted by us Extremist sport of major proportion Olympian triumph or dire consequence The pinnacle of battle’s contortion We understand what they must do To ensure life for another day We too have kin, we too pull through Against the odds of lethal games played We bow our heads then lift them high We do each other proud We flaunt success, we fill the sky Celebrate victories much as is allowed When one has fallen, first we pause And gracious in defeat We carry on for valiant cause ‘Tis nature’s intended feat So when you come with human hand And strike opponents down for sport All nature’s children ‘cross the land Weep over the loss while kings retort We feel the sting of aching pain We don’t rejoice the slaughter Do us no favors, leave untouched Our pure and innocent daughters Where once we thrived on adrenalin rush These humble creatures roam The same could happen to one of us It’s like losing one of our own So leave us be in death and birth No intervention needed at all We sporting kids of mother earth Don’t care to be trophies on walls
