Embracing Hope And Freedom
Embracing hope and freedom…wrinkled giants ambling as one
Dreaming of a future… caressed by the warmth of the African sun
Powerful trunks like clock pendulums….counting down the days
Dark hours of poaching….setting the African bush ablaze
Weeping traumatised survivors…broken bonds and life threads
Wanton destruction….. and blood filled treads
Northern White Rhino…of which only a few remain
The rest of this sub-species
Consumed by a ‘myth’… and a world….gone insane!
Tawny lions prowling….diamond mesh their prison walls
Never to feel their freedom…
‘canned hunting’…their last call
Man…a well groomed predator…cloaked as ‘Master of the land’
Empowered by corruption…greed and slight of hand
Wake up World Governments…this is a gut wrenching race
War against the scourge of corruption
To ensure… extinction of many species…does not take place
Great Icons of the African bush
Guide us in your wisdom..teach us to be compassionate and kind
We will restore your faith in humans
Peace…we know…you will find
