Criminality and intrigue<\/p>\n
Culpability in a league<\/p>\n
outside the norm<\/p>\n
thus implicating<\/p>\n
all and sundry<\/p>\n
now partaking<\/p>\n
the rich pickings<\/p>\n
in the air<\/p>\n
on the ground<\/p>\n
and everywhere<\/p>\n
Ivory, sought after by<\/p>\n
those who in their choppers fly<\/p>\n
murder it means nothing, they<\/p>\n
shoot to kill from far away<\/p>\n
China’s wants, are China’s gets<\/p>\n
they know nothing of Karmic debts<\/p>\n
its renminbi and dollar bills<\/p>\n
that give these shits the greatest thrills<\/p>\n
blood on their hands<\/p>\n
sinews too<\/p>\n
as they contract<\/p>\n
to do what they do<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
cut off the tusks and genitals and<\/p>\n
leave the Garamba<\/p>\n
and the land<\/p>\n
backup out and \u00a0across<\/p>\n
they go<\/p>\n
with their sick bounty<\/p>\n
now in tow<\/p>\n
clearly rich pickings<\/p>\n
for those in the know<\/p>\n
and now we see<\/p>\n
vultures down below<\/p>\n
a poor feast of bloat<\/p>\n
of maggots of slime<\/p>\n
these beautiful elephants<\/p>\n
lost in time<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
a whole tribe wiped out<\/p>\n
in a melee of pain<\/p>\n
mothers and fathers<\/p>\n
and babies<\/p>\n
their reign is over<\/p>\n
in this life<\/p>\n
the bullets of steel<\/p>\n
smashed through their hide<\/p>\n
all the pain was so real<\/p>\n
all the grief and the bravery<\/p>\n
it was all there as mothers tried hard<\/p>\n
to shield them \u00a0aware<\/p>\n
of the death and destruction<\/p>\n
but everyone found<\/p>\n
they shared their last moments<\/p>\n
as in bullets they drowned<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Man has significant evil to kill<\/p>\n
to come from the air<\/p>\n
and all that blood spill<\/p>\n
the splutter of bullets<\/p>\n
that cut down those great<\/p>\n
elephant bulls and the calves<\/p>\n
at a rate<\/p>\n
terrible screams<\/p>\n
and trumpets were heard<\/p>\n
by the mightiest Lions<\/p>\n
and the tiniest bird<\/p>\n
all witnessed the massacre<\/p>\n
down on the ground<\/p>\n
the darkest of evils<\/p>\n
the tearful were bound<\/p>\n
the thrust of the swords<\/p>\n
the tusks they were gone<\/p>\n
soaked in the blood and the snot<\/p>\n
they were on<\/p>\n
their way leaving trails<\/p>\n
of sinful regard<\/p>\n
souls lost forever<\/p>\n
now seen by the bard<\/p>\n
who writes up the story<\/p>\n
and feels for each one<\/p>\n
left for the maggots<\/p>\n
to scoff in the sun<\/p>\n
a feast for the parasites<\/p>\n
who scamper by<\/p>\n
to watch as they render<\/p>\n
great beasts till their dry<\/p>\n
till their bones are then bleached<\/p>\n
and lay in great heaps<\/p>\n
and their memory<\/p>\n
stays where the<\/p>\n
ranger man weeps<\/p>\n
Garamba may shudder<\/p>\n
as many now do<\/p>\n
it happened a year ago<\/p>\n
is there a clue<\/p>\n
as to who perpetrated<\/p>\n
this evil<\/p>\n
their tracks<\/p>\n
were covered and smartly<\/p>\n
as were their backs<\/p>\n
protected by those who<\/p>\n
were paid so to do<\/p>\n
those victims were tragically<\/p>\n
murdered so a few<\/p>\n
could carve out their bounty<\/p>\n
and make lots of things<\/p>\n
to be sold to the princes<\/p>\n
and possibly kings<\/p>\n
to enter the marketplace<\/p>\n
dressed up in style<\/p>\n
elephant ivory<\/p>\n
from that tragic pile<\/p>\n
