The sands of time are running<\/p>\n
the wildlife lends an ear<\/p>\n
to the trumpeting of Elephants<\/p>\n
who now all live in fear<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
the herds of gentle giants<\/p>\n
sociable loving souls<\/p>\n
who understand the rules of life<\/p>\n
but ivory controls<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
their stress and the frustration<\/p>\n
for man un kind now comes<\/p>\n
not with spears and poisoned darts<\/p>\n
and not with any drums<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
he comes with heavy rifles<\/p>\n
and power tools<\/p>\n
and we know<\/p>\n
the poacher men are on our case<\/p>\n
and we know when they show<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
that they will murder all of us<\/p>\n
our babies even will<\/p>\n
perish in the blood bath<\/p>\n
for they just like to kill<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
anything that happens by<\/p>\n
nothing will \u00a0get away<\/p>\n
these really rotten laggards<\/span><\/p>\n make every creature pay<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n unlike human beings<\/p>\n we never murder, we<\/p>\n share our lives with others<\/p>\n its how it has to be<\/p>\n <\/p>\n but face to face with poachers<\/p>\n whose guns blaze dreadful fire<\/p>\n we stand to lose just everything<\/p>\n we know our future’s dire<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ivory the goal they need<\/p>\n our precious tusks they use<\/p>\n carve it into ornaments<\/p>\n yes they do abuse<\/p>\n <\/p>\n us every single one of us<\/p>\n who lost our life to them<\/p>\n knew that it was over<\/p>\n and from where the lust did stem<\/p>\n <\/p>\n the anti poaching units<\/p>\n are out there now we see<\/p>\n and they are getting stronger<\/p>\n and will hopefully<\/p>\n <\/p>\n save the rest from being killed<\/p>\n as markets begin to close<\/p>\n we may still have a future<\/p>\n only the human knows<\/p>\n <\/p>\n if he can leave us well alone<\/p>\n and really let us be<\/p>\n free to roam the plains of Africa<\/p>\n and just thoughtfully<\/p>\n <\/p>\n taste the fruity baobab<\/p>\n and wander here and there<\/p>\n not suffer from the mayhem<\/p>\n that leads onto despair<\/p>\n <\/p>\n last Friday some bold people<\/p>\n became an Ele Pal<\/p>\n they went down into London<\/p>\n somewhere near Pall Mall<\/p>\n <\/p>\n they waved and gave the thumbs up<\/p>\n to taxi’s passing by<\/p>\n who hooted their acceptance<\/p>\n which is really why<\/p>\n <\/p>\n we heard those distant trumpets<\/p>\n fleeting across the skies<\/p>\n they reached our ears in Africa<\/p>\n it was not a surprise<\/p>\n <\/p>\n there are folks that do love us<\/p>\n and give their time to show<\/p>\n others that we should be saved<\/p>\n as most of you now know.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Thank you<\/p>\n <\/p>\n www.actionforelephantsuk.org<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The sands of time are running the wildlife lends an ear to the trumpeting of Elephants who now all live in fear the herds of gentle giants sociable loving souls who understand the rules of life but ivory controls … Continue reading
