19,000 dead Elephants

inspired by a posting from Stephanie Vergniault of 24/1

Poachers are the murdering scum
Who kill for cash, the blood
of Earthlings flows and the river grows
and by now its reached a flood
of gore and utter torment
of agonised belief
The Elephants some 19,000
all have come to grief

For what, because of evil
Poachers rampaging there
In Liberia the blood-bath
We all now have to share
Mr Patrick Omondi from The Kenya
Wildlife said
The illegal Trade in Ivory
is a kind of killing spree
Thats led,
to only about 1000
souls still alive and well
We have to really set in stone
that Ivory be outlawed
or Hell
breaks out, a pandemonium
the Poachers are low life
Killing precious animals
and creating so much strife
Where ever it is going
Strong karma follows too
Money made this life time
Will bounce back on the lot of you
