Poem

His underbelly is soft but please don't push his buttons

He looks rather docile if you simply leave him alone

Feeds on leaves and fruit and won't kill if you're tame

And respect the elegant majesty that treads firmly on grass

If treated correctly and let him be he is a friendly companion


He looks like a Unicorn adorned with a gregarious nose

Eats what nature has given only as much as he needs

Has few 'natural' predators other than human creatures

Who misinterpret their task on this planet as unruly force

And slay for fun or trophy hunting and belligerent pounce


Unlike Pinocchio he has two spikes a long and a short one

To use for foraging digging up water and breaking branches

But when threatened protects family kind with true honesty

Lowers his snout to the ground and locks intimidating horns

Charges only in self-defence and attacks as a last resort only


I wish I and my fellow homo sapiens comrades would copy

Such moral correctness rather than killing unneeded prey

Whereas rhinos use upright posture and magnificent skills

For sexual prowess and marking their own territorial ground

We grind their sharp body parts into aphrodisiacs myths


Sell to high bidders and pretend such behaviour is normal

Discard their mutilated bodies in a landscape of terror and

Wonder why sometimes they pierce in just retaliation

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you

And I do not wish my prominent bits on somebody's plate
