Poem
THE CRYING WILD CREATURES. Nzongi Mwero. Oh, we recall the bygone times, The days of the golden past, That chirping with our merry mates, Flying around the parks, Gone the joys of the nests, That freedom restrained, Coming at our will in parks, But hindered and chained in the parks. Oh, we feel painted at our hearts when we recall, The scene in the parks unsmiling, No glistering dew drops from the trees, All big trees were cut down, We can’t forget that lovely shape of the parks, That endearing our faces. Oh, life was real nice in the vernal shade, Oh, we miss the sweet voices of our brothers in the parks, Would that we had the strength to break the predators, What a bad luck have we? Can we pine for another park? Brothers let us think of the weapons and tactics, That we could escape from poachers and predators. My friend Antelope- You can use your speed in retreating, You Tortoise- Use your shield or bomb shelter, My friend Chameleon- You can use the camouflage, You Porcupine- Please use your swords or bayonets, My friend Snake- Use your poisoned knife, You Stunk- Please Use your tear gas or poison gas, My friend Octopus- Use your smoke screen, You Electric Eel- Please Use your electric shock, Then my friend Gecko- You can Use your diversionary tactics, And finally me Elephant I will Use my tusks. Everyone has a duty to perform his defensive way, To deal with poachers and predators, But still human beings have more brains, They know how to trap us, We plead those with good hearted to protect us. Parks are our shelters, Rivers are our shelters, Oceans and lakes are our shelters, Trees are our shelters, The land is our shelters. Oh, we beg you do not harm us, You live on land- You live on land, You drink water from the rivers –We live and drink that water, You get medicine from trees- We live and eat those trees, You collect foreign money from the parks- We live in the parks, You use oceans and lakes to travel –We live in those waters. Oh, we are all world creatures, Why are you killing us for meat? Why are you destroying the parks? Why are you contaminating the waters? Why are you cutting down trees? Why are you burning the land we live? Why are you hunting us for more money? And already you are getting foreign money due to us, Please stop hunting us or destroying our shelters.
