Poem
Deep in the forest they walk in pairs, Wearing uniforms guns in their hands, They follow a family of jumbos engulfed, In whispers as they follow the trails, While their commander gives instruction. In a moment they turn to respond, As poachers engage them in a shootout For this is the spirit of a hero. Within them their strength unites them, Their believe and sense of freedom shows, Freedom to save and free the species, For the good and benefit of the generations, Comes into reality of every one of them, As they fight to save the amazing creature, For this is the spirit of a hero. Every night from the comforts of the bed, Deep in the rainy forest the rangers walk, Watching out without a single blink, Not wanting to waste a minute or a second. They pass through the quiet jungle, With intervals of animals sounds and sight, High in spirit they do not show fear, For this is the spirit of a hero. In all this they lose their lives in a battle, While keeping the spirit of conservation high, They watch as their own fight to the end, But being the hero’s they are they continue. I pay tribute to all my fellow true heroes, For in what they believed in they fought, In nature and animals they sweared to protect, For this is the spirit of a hero. BERNARD WACHIRA.
