An Ode For Cecil

Cecil the king of the jungle How are the mighty fallen Tributes have come in from all around the world From the animal and human kingdom Oh cecil See the way you were killed Like a common criminal Humans forgot you are a king Oh Cecil! Oh Cecil! We weep and mourn for you Vividly I remember when you strode this earth like a colossus Your fame cut across all continents of the world As far as even the Sambisa forest of Nigeria, Africa We have all roared, not in joy but in weeping I am confused now for it seems humans have become more Callous than we of the animal kingdom You will never be forgotten Cecil, Your death shall be a cause for justice We shall continue to fight for animal rights just like humans fight for human rights Rest in peace my friend and confidant Cecil until when we shall meet again My name remains Zambo the great lioness of Africa I end this sad song with a heavy heart. Zambian jungle weep no more but don’t forget Cecil Good bye Cecil the great King
