Ivory and our precious Elephants

a ranger speaks
of his Elephant friends
so powerful and so vibrant
and so very strong
“Baghdad” runs and kicks
up dust
in a park
in the Gabon

the Elephant got the Ivory
the creator must
have thought
that humans wouldn’t have
realized just how
its tusks were sought
last year Elephant Poaching
reached a brand new high
China’s massive markets
are the reason why
But China, and its traders
have got to realize
That Elephants are living
wonders, and that is no surprise

they must stop, this filthy
trade in new Ivory, and
Tell poachers that new Ivory in China
is now banned
be resolute, be caring
China now we all
look to you an ancient country
with the greatest wall
and myriads of wonder
so Elephants must be
Saved from the World’s Poachers
and be wild and forever free
