by Lixin Tan
Welcome to the circus:
delighted faces and the smell of ignorance.
You pay to see some dancing bears,
elephants walking on hind legs,
and lions rolling at the feet of
their masters like kittens.
Dream tonight, of tortured animals,
crying dogs, thick skin bleeding,
the king of all animals degraded.
delighted faces and the smell of ignorance.
You pay to see some dancing bears,
elephants walking on hind legs,
and lions rolling at the feet of
their masters like kittens.
Dream tonight, of tortured animals,
crying dogs, thick skin bleeding,
the king of all animals degraded.
