We know his sons are hunters
\nAnd elephants they have killed
\nNo doubt the lobbying power is there
\nFor all the blood thats spilled
\nOverstepping the mark though
\nTransgression of this type
\nIt was a vile intrusion
\nA really ugly swipe<\/p>\n
Elephants are loved around the world
\nAnd they should be
\nProtected along with other pachyderms
\nWe need to see
\nWild souls in their habitat
\nNot trophies on some wall
\nAnd Trumps relaxation of the rules
\nShowed us what a fool<\/p>\n
He was to go along with such
\nA general hauling down
\nUtter illogicality
\nIrrational to drown
\nOut the voice of reason
\nTo pervert the course of care
\nTo support the trophy hunters
\nAnd their jaundiced love affair<\/p>\n
The gung hoish jingoistic
\nDiscriminatory brigade
\nBigoted fanatics
\nWho wanted to parade
\nBits of their dead victims
\nBe allowed so to do
\nFor me it was wishful thinking
\nThat somehow became true<\/p>\n
The unconsciousness prevailing
\nSo many unaware
\nUnacquainted with the evidence
\nAlthough it was all out there
\nHe really dropped a clanger
\nHe was so wide of the mark
\nUnsound and implausible
\nAnd completely in the dark<\/p>\n
Social media exploded
\nThe wind and waves he felt
\nThe pointlessness of allowing
\nTrophies clearly dealt
\nA fatuous conclusion
\nA senseless point of view
\nA tweet was needed and it came
\nAbout what he must do<\/p>\n
Delay the question, think on it
\nFor he was no ones fool
\nClearly there was evidence
\nHe hadn’t seen, thats all
\nTo grit his teeth and be resolute
\nUnyielding to the cause
\nPurposeful and committed
\nAnd really never pause<\/p>\n
Be true and be unflinching
\nProtect the pachyderms
\nNot be daunted by the hunters cries
\nBut come to terms
\nWith The people who were clearly
\nAdamant that he
\nShould not circumvent the protection
\nIn place to keep them free<\/p>\n
And really take it further
\nBan trophy hunting, he
\nHas the chance to be the sage
\nThat folks say he can’t be<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
