The Zoo

Oh, the wonders you’ll see at the zoo! The colorful creatures that you may review Once inside you can peek past the fence And then you’ll be able to finally sense The curious nature of big roving beasts Who stare at a group after chomping on feasts Of flesh from a weaker link in the food chain While strutting their tails emphasizing their vain And self centered ways as if you do not matter For in a heartbeat they could turn you to splatter Yet oddly enough they are quite entertaining For all of the tricks that are learned in their training Upon their arrival they’re already taught To like their confinement since freedom is naught Consequentially the animals feel safely kept Their daily routine of exploits they accept So worry not for the dear creatures, my friend They’re happiest when they cannot comprehend Empowerment comes with some sufferin’ and cryin’ The humans can't reason as well as us lions.
