Quote: Ivory jewellery is a lingering regret...... Delice Arleen Skelly

My heart aches at thought of elephants' plight Those splendid ivory tusks ignite Killing spree that's totally senseless Brutality against absolute defenceless. Elephants roamed with freedom graced Then intruders arrived with deadly face Felled by ignorance and arrogant gun I ask you, how can this be fun? Safari of death for beautiful ivory Bangles and beads such bloody finery This went on for too many years Did anyone note doomed elephant tears?
