A Diabolical Crisis

A DIABOLICAL CRISIS

Rhino, rhino, rhino,
Encroach, encroach, encroach,
Approach, approach, approach,
Poach, poach, poach!

Lion, lion, lion,
Die, die, die,
Why, why, why,
Cry, cry, cry!

Elephants, elephants, elephants
Fear, fear, fear,
Near, near, near,
Tear, tear, tear!

These 3 animals are killed for financial gain,
Let all the world hear so sanity will reign!

Hi Lindsay, We are off to the Kruger park for a week in a fortnight. These magnificent animals are a sight to behold. How a living being can butcher them is beyond comprehension. Thanks for your comment Lindsay. Regards, Jennifer.

This is aptly named - a diabolical act, and a crisis. I am with you, Jennifer. What a waste and for what purpose?

I Know Caren, not only is it cruel and savage, but they are facing extinction and no one will have the pleasures and honour of seeing them in the wild where they should be left in peace! thank-you for your comment.

With Donald Trump at the helm, not much chance of that! Lucky for you he has yet to discover big game hunting! Give us a report on Trump's Ivory Tower! Aloha! Rico

Hello Rico, Quite right, but there are other Donald Trumps in this world who are thriving financially. Their hands and souls are stained in the animals blood, but we are all answerable one day! thank you for your comment. Have a nice day, where do you live, what time is it actually now?
