NOWHERE TO RUN AND NO PLACE TO HIDE

The call of the wild

A symphony of life

Lost in golden sunsets: bewitched and beguiled

Elephants marching to an African beat

Sun bronzed land throbbing beneath their feet

Gentle rumbles vibrating on the breeze

These magnificent giants communicating with ease

Creamy tusks with life do glow

A treasure that nature on them did bestow

Elephant’s ivory more valuable than gold

Unquenchable greed in man does unfold

Elephants are riches we cannot replace

The essence of the elephant we must embrace

They have nowhere to run and no place to hide

Africa’s giants: Africa’s pride

We all belong to the earth, it’s not ours to possess

The tragedy of poaching, we need to address

Say no to ‘white gold’: respect these giants

Stand tall: act with compliance

The harsh and beautiful African land

Empty without elephants: become one voice

Take a stand

Footprints
