3 beautiful Kordofan Giraffes
\nThat were sighted hours before
\nWere poached and shot down in cold blood
\nIt is a bloody war
\nAgainst the highly militarised forces
\nWho are paid
\nTo come and slaughter wild animals
\nWhich is their stock in trade<\/p>\n
Garamba National Park is a hugely
\nForested area of 2000 miles
\nA mark
\nOf just how hard it is to track
\nThese hunter types who come
\nIn this case only the tips of tails
\nWere taken
\nWhich leaves me numb<\/p>\n
Three beautiful souls one collared
\nA female and two males
\nAll riddled with bullets
\nThe ranger spirit fails
\nHere was a collared with GPs victim
\nOn the ground
\nA lot of high grass in this area
\nSo the difficulty they have found<\/p>\n
Is evident for Rhino’s have been wiped
\nOut in the park
\nELephants are facing Hell
\nFor The giraffes too it is stark
\nEither used for bush meat
\nBut the Congolese believe
\nEating giraffe causes leprosy
\nSo clearly those now that grieve<\/p>\n
It was likely Congolese poachers
\nWanting only the tail
\nUsed there as a dowry for the brides father
\nThis trail
\nof carnage
\nThat can end up as a fly whisk
\nSo they say
\n3 animals were shot down in their prime
\nThe other day<\/p>\n
On the Congolese Sudan border
\nWhere there has been some unrest
\nThe animals were cut about
\nFor the vultures to do their best
\nTo eat up all the evidence
\nAnd make it hard to find
\nWho and why poached these giraffes
\nThat clearly blow our mind<\/p>\n
The Rangers found the bodies
\nAnd realised the score
\nThey identified the culprits
\nAnd said it is a war
\nAnd it’s very very dangerous ground
\nPolicing this park here
\nBut they are resigned to do it
\nDespite the heightened fear<\/p>\n
And all for a status symbol
\nLife for some is low
\nThe expectancy of their own lives
\nApparently they know
\nBut These three sentient Giants
\nThey readily will buy
\n3 tips of tails and their bloody trails
\nSeen here as they did die<\/p>\n
Now there is only 37 left
\n4 dead this year
\nThe Rangers will be working hard
\nDespite the enormous fear
\nAnd they are up against it
\nmany groups with vike ideas
\nBush meat tail tips hunters
\nAll psycho’s it appears<\/p>\n
National Geographic made the film
\nWhich is on you tube and I posted
\nOnto is it the beginning of the end
\nOn Facebook<\/p>\n
Dedicated to the brave rangers who risk
\nTheir lives every day to save the wild life<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
