Nose horn

An odd toed ungulate which we happen to see
Is as ancient as anything living can be
Large megafauna and heavy as hell
Thick collagen skin that protects them real well
No teeth to speak Of only big lips
But so many sadly are feeling their chips
Are down at this moment for poachers you see
are waiting around for them and easily
They are when they drink to be killed on the spot
For the one horn they have which some like a lot
Now it’s the VIETNAMESES they love it so
Some breathe it in for they think they know
It’s an aphrodisiac but of course it is not
It’s keratin just like their hair so a lot
Of animals are murdered and they suffer so
Due to ignorance and arrogance and not in the know

No it’s on the ground found this wonderful soul
Blood everywhere still and out of control
Trying to breathe in absolute pain
Her horn had been sawn off and her blood now did drain
Away every intake of breath you could feel
The terrible agony it was so real
And the Vietnamese are heading the need
Ugly and dark all consumed with such greed
RHino’s are dying in AFRICA now
In ZImbabwe too we must ask ourselves how
People can be so ignorant that they
Pay a fortune for their finger nails
And hair everyday

CHina gets blamed for this market share
But it is the Vietnamese now who dare
The market is increasing because of their hope
They should all hang by the toughest of rope
Kicking their legs like victims should
Coughing and choking and dying for good
Lost to this world in a mayhem of blood
The pain unbelievable and the great flood
Of life force released from them by the poachers saw
That tears at their hearts and their poor heads for sure
