Organza spider webs bejeweled with fresh morning dew
First glow of daybreak enhanced by a deep golden hue
Our magical world breathes deeply….exhaling a warm sticky breeze
A tranquil chorus of bird song carries through the rich canopy of trees
Clouds as delicate as gossamer lace
Ghosting across the heavens and disappearing without a trace
A planet oozing with natural riches and miracles of life
Often spoiled by
Man’s ugly intervention…..turmoil and strife
A sun climbing high….golden light shining down
Shadows deepen……a furrowed frown
Muscular legs stiff….bloated belly high
Mutilated face and sad weeping eye
Frozen in time…..chest crushing heat
Heart no longer pounding to Africa’s random beat
Unquenchable greed stealing Africa’s whispers of life
Whirlwinds of destruction….and haunting sighs
A gentle heart beats ….breaking the brooding quiet
Fearful eyes peering….a survivor of the gruesome night
Out of the deep shadows….a small nub of horn
A bewildered rhino calf stumbles….dehydrated, terrified and forlorn
Beautiful face caked red and a blank look in her eye
A head full of images…..mutilated mum bleeding
and
Left to die
We cannot sit by and watch as this tragedy continues to unfold
Thandi and Hope represent their kind….and their stories need to be told
‘Saving The Survivors’…..a shining light in their dark hours of need
Our duty as custodians is to share their stories…so that the world can take heed
I am sharing their stories through my poetry and I am raising funds for ‘Saving The Survivors’
with these two original ‘Kids Rhino Collection’…£15.00 each and £7.00 for prints plus packaging & postage.
Each picture and each print will come with a poem about rhinos. 100% profit will go to helping the survivors.
Let us do what we can to help save these survivors.
Brighten up kids bedrooms with these ‘Rhino Collection’ pics.
