COnsisting of just keratin
\nand calcium The horn
\ncreation gave to Rhino’s
\nTragically It is sawn
\nOff by ignorant poachers
\nWho destroy the animals face
\nAnd often leave the calf behind to die
\nA human race<\/p>\n
To realise their contract
\nTo get the horn to where
\nIts processed often through Mozambique
\nAnd out of there by air
\nTo Vietnam where it is thought
\nTo enter the debate
\nProcessed into pills and potions
\nWhere the Chinese traditionalists state<\/p>\n
It be a wondrous medicine
\nIn actuality
\nIts a fable on the table
\nOf human misery
\nIt disregards the recipient
\nAnd the child that maybe is there
\nAnd AFRica is reeling from the victims
\nAnd the despair<\/p>\n
And here we think of a family
\nThe mother was cut through
\nAnd left to bleed in agony
\nand what does her baby do
\nImagine how a mother feels
\nIn So much agony
\nShe tries to come to terms
\nWith Knowing her baby cannot be<\/p>\n
It must be total mayhem
\nFor a mother to conceive
\nThat not only is she dying
\nBut her child too may believe
\nShe neglected her and
\nAnd thus it be
\nHer baby will also die
\nCuddled up and covered in blood
\nAsking creation why.<\/p>\n
Into absolute confusion
\nAnd an exhaustive state
\nWhere CPR was possible
\nAnd a need to resuscitate
\nCompressions were done manually
\nFor this cardiac arrest
\nNeeds empathy and immediacy
\nAnd love and care to test<\/p>\n
“MEha”was resuscitated
\nShe luckily made it through
\nUnlike so many others
\nWho were not found
\nSo a few
\nare, But the need is urgent
\nAnd we have to come to terms
\nWe have to find these babies
\nThese wondrous pachyderms<\/p>\n
Ignorance and evil intent
\nIs taking its toll
\nA baby lost,its mother
\nLost its endearing soul
\nOblivion was suddenly
\nA possibility
\nNullified by what was truly
\nCriminality<\/p>\n
Its baseless groundless torment
\nUnfounded yet its true
\nWith unimagined solace
\nFor a baby most will do
\nThe obvious just snuggle up
\nTo their dying mother, and
\nWhen her life just slips away
\nThey will never understand<\/p>\n
The void into which they had fallen
\nBorn out of sin and greed
\nMiscast in this drama
\nWhere absurdity does lead
\nWith such ignorance a fore thought
\nAnd such criminality
\nRhino poachers should be caught
\nAnd killed immediately<\/p>\n
For me that is the only sentence
\nThat might stop this rut
\nCHina and Vietnam need a programme
\nFor the door is being shut
\nKeratin and calcium are not medicines at all
\nThere is nothing magic
\nBut what is tragic
\nAre the animals that fall<\/p>\n
Extinction is now coming
\nThis carnage has to be
\nStopped so no more victims
\nAnd poachers they must see
\nThe writing on the wall now
\nAFRICA Must stand strong
\nany poachers caught with horns
\nWill die will join the throng<\/p>\n
Of the vile and evil people
\nBuried in a unmarked grave
\nThe pachyderms need protection
\nAnd africa can save<\/p>\n
Them and its face forever
\nIt has to make this be
\nSend a message to shock them all
\nOf this criminality
\nThat really is all pervading
\nIn AFRICA today
\nSo many orphaned babies
\nWith little time to play<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
