Oblivion feels possible
\nFor the elephants of old
\nDestruction of their habitat
\nAnd their babies being sold
\nThe amarula fruit tree mob
\nDecided they must try
\nAnd raise elephant awareness
\nFor so many now do die<\/p>\n
Ivory poachers critically
\nAre murdering them at will
\nHunters too are killing them
\nAfrica is still
\nWitnessing the phantoms
\nWho once walked on the land
\nBeing decimated
\nBy the corporation hand<\/p>\n
Vietnam and China are culpable it seems
\nThat is where the market is
\nWhere teams and teams and teams
\nOf marketeers are at it
\nEvery single day
\nTurning tusks to ornaments
\nAnd jewellery, a way
\nToo many pieces really
\nAnd the ignorance we hear
\nThat this ivory was never poached
\nRinging in our ear.<\/p>\n
Ofcourse its poached you arseoles
\nAnd canned hunted as well
\nThe yanks and brits the corporate shits
\nThe safari hunting smell
\nDrifts across the varied plains
\nAnd takes on the rangers who
\nTry to save the elephants
\nBut don’t know what to do<\/p>\n
There are too many poachers
\nAnd the rangers are too few
\nIvory sales are rampant
\nIts what the criminals do
\nMarula’s label doesn’t show an elephant
\nAnymore
\nTrying to wake the public up
\nThough many still ignore<\/p>\n
The cruelty the evil the ugly rotten trade
\nGreasing the hands of many
\nOn many a head is laid
\nThe ivory sales the malevolent credentials
\nOf those who
\nsee a elephsnt covered in flies
\nAnd, just take a view<\/p>\n
That a dead elephant makes them profit
\nAnd the poachers willingly
\nMurder and cause mayhem
\nAnd most come locally
\nIt won’t be until the pachyderms
\nAre wiped out then we will hear
\nThe frantic cries of animal lovers
\nWhen its too late I fear.<\/p>\n
So come on all you armchair warriors
\nElephants need aid
\nElephants are not ivory
\nThey are iconic and were made
\nBy creation as were all of you
\nThey need a helping hand
\nIvory holds a massive karmic debt
\nPlease understand<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
