One dead elephant

Rifles across their shoulders
Big men after all
An elephant lies it’s eyes closed
Just where the soul did fall
They paid to bag this creature
Trophy hunters they
Part of an exciting package
Which became their holiday

Look at the elephant motionless
Peacefully it lies
Shot down by the two of them
Two just ordinary guys
Looking for excitement
The avid need to kill
To stalk and hope a tusker comes
Over the next hill

Paying a fee to murder
A living creature who
Was put upon this earth
And gunned down by the two of you
Opportunistically speaking
Rascality abroad
This elephant had done no wrong
But it’s death was your reward

Personally I am thinking
A wild soul in its realm
Living where it Indeed was placed
It does overwhelm
My heartfelt association
With wild souls that abound
What gives us the where for all
That inside itself it drowned

Out the bullet exploding
It’s body killed at source
It’s eyes closed and it just shut down
All this done with force
Earlier it was walking quietly
And then on encountering you
The bullets sank into its flesh
And it fell that much was true
