Strength of your stick
may think these animals
in appearance tamed
like human beings...
But master of this zoo..!
Afghans like brutal tigers
drink humanity's blood
a reality you must accept
And as this zoo's master
you are the one responsible
Who made humans animals
The guilt belongs to you
With your great stick
they are left truly beaten
wounded and bleeding
So now you come with salt.
