Pangolins

A beautiful elegant soul
Lives and breathes
All over Asia and Africa known
As a Pangolin an Ant Eater
Toothless with scales
Walks with an attractive gait
But Sadly fails
In the protective region
All it can do
Is roll up in a ball
Which sadly is true
It’s enemies pick it up
Kill it, and they
Use its scales and it’s flesh
make the Pangolin pay
For its glorious existence
That’s what we see
A victim emerging
Throughout History.

Traditional Medicine
China of course
Long established knowledge
Really a force
To contend with
From ages past
When usage became
A directional cast
Herbal as well
As animal parts
For the Pangolin hell

It’s scales ground up
Into a dust
It is said are good for the skin
For sexual prowess
Ailments that matter
That do provide stress
For many centuries
Apparently
The Pangolin has suffered
But it does seem to me
Any excuse
A regiversation
A change of allegiance
An alteration
I am revulsed by the wholesale slaughter
Carried out by the ignorant
Poacher who ought to
Use more discretion
And more realisation
For the Pangolin’s scales
Cannot save the nation

It’s wicked to say so
It’s iniquituous too
There are no secret substances
There that can do
What is described
In pursuit of a cure
Ineffectualness inanity seems
As incompetence grows
There isn’t a means
To an end except Pangolins
Becoming extinct
And with the vast numbers
That really are linked.
