An elephants view on Ivory ( From the secret Elephant chronicles)

I’m an elephant
and as such, I know
that some of you
fight for those in circus’s
and those in the zoo
some that are in game parks
and working ele’s too
really all you activists
us elephants love you

we have the longest memories
with our instincts yes we know
those who are now called terrorists
are our saviours this we know
then of course we have the Chinese
each crook, each violent one
who comes to bribe the local boys
and we know, there are some

who’ll kill us for our Ivory
we know this to be sure
these tusks we sport
and were born with
we know now few ignore
and when they come we’re ready
but the bullets cut us down
we know we see as others
are shot they go to town

hacking off the ivory
this is what they need
a pregnant cow with daughter
all of them now bleed
underneath the hot sun
you humans you will be
rotting in the hell of your own
making you will see

that is the new prophecy
our gods have told us so
and only the animal activists will be spared
and allowed to go
the rest will join the ivory dead
the circus dead as well
and all the other elephants
who visit them in Hell
