Habitat loss and deadly snares
Mindlessness of course
bushmeat the exotic pet trade
really there is a force
of Nature across AFRICA
Where the wild life parks exist
drawing the vile poachers
their evil to enlist
traps and snares
do injure the frustration
It is clear
trafficking and pollution
its prevalent far and near
thankfully there is kindness
where indifference and unconcern
where insouciance and nonchalance
seemingly do burn
great holes in the fabric
increasing suffering for
many a precious animal
a victim of their war
deadly snares that strangle
as they try to edge away
suffering mortal terror
Somewhere every day
one angel called Mark Ofua
in Lagos comes to mind
he rescues baby Pangolins
with valour thats applied
Where all over Africa we see
evils to the fore
and the victims are the innocent
All up against the poor
the unenlightened locals
creating victims everyday
sacrificing innocence
making the angels pay
every soul’s expectations
a purpose just to be
hopeful of a pleasant life
starry eyed and free
sharing of the wonderment
that Nature does provide
and not falling foul to degenerates
with nothing left inside
every soul whether big or small
was given life and they
Celebrate their daily tasks
as they go on their way
whether in the oceans
where discarded nets now be
or fixed in secluded hollows
where snares and traps
few see
every soul has purpose
is a miracle, we know
and the murdering scumbag human beings
are sinking to a low
their tyranny is everywhere
their arrogance explodes
flagrant brazen selfish creeps
Party to my odes
Braggarts blusterers supercilious
mean spirited and wrong
Their hostility and intolerance
just doesn’t belong
we have all to participate in the looking after of all animals great and small where ere we walk look down and see
the ant, the snail where they may be
and love them
