In the Okavango Delta Botswana an elephant hit the dust

Its legal to go hunting
in the Okavango Delta
Botswana welcomes
hunters
with their rifles
in their hand
welcomes lots of ammunition
all of that is grand

waiting like a infidel
in the bush in case
an unsuspecting Elephant
should ever show its face
look at it look at it
wisdom, age, all there
aim the rifle, pull the trigger
the bullets let him share

watch it cut him down to size
watch his blood run out
watch the wondrous majesty
know what its about
crumble to the ground
don’t even think to ever realise
Yea you are the hunter
your the hound
oh yea as your as bold as brass
crouching in some hollow
with a feather up your arse
hiding like a bandit
your viciousness reviles
a rare and handsome fellow
has faced the torrid trials

he was free and honest
and he alas must pay
he boldly took his place on earth
till you blew him away
And NBC flashed its demise
over people’s screens
what judgement that was
one of what, must have been
the vilest scenes

and hearing that your ammunition
it was “ivory killing”
it chills me to the marrow
and you were champagne swilling
what exhilaration
what excitement wow!
you hadn’t killed a rabbit and you hadn’t
killed a cow

you’d killed a bloody elephant
a beast of high renown
soon to be a rarity
you should have a crown
you should be a king
for christ sake
Hunters I don’t know
what you have inside of you
just makes me want to throw

up!

I feel so for that elephant
and for all earthlings who die
who wander in the place
where they were born
under the sky
innocently hoping
the experience they share
sets them up forever
but instead some shit is there
ready to take pot shots
and watch the master fall
crumpled in a agonising
heap who broke a rule
he put his faith in man un kind
he tentatively dreamed
he was safe and settled
until the Devil screamed!!!!!!!!
