We are privileged to have the presence of elephants
On this bronzed and timeless land
The largest living land mammals
Leaving footprints
As they pad quietly across the sand
Feel your heart swell
Pumping with love and a little fear
These majestic creature’s presence
FRAGILE: Please you need to hear
Elephant’s tusks are not diamonds
To covet and possess
They come from butchered sentient creatures
And on this point, I stress
Elephants in large numbers
Slaughtered for their ‘white gold’
To be intricately carved into jewelry and trinkets
For you to love and hold
Feel an elephant heart beat wildly
Burning from within
Become a voice for the voiceless
And let a new era begin
Stop the demand for ivory
Share this with kith and kin
Ensure that life force for these creatures
Continues to pound from within
Fall under the spell of these giants
Save them from the human race
A mighty peace will settle
Radiant on Mother Natures’ face
Beautiful!!!! Amazing words – stunning and incredibly sad images in my mind…but whilst we can still fight for change …. I will be there. Well done!!!!!
