No Legacy
No more elephants
Will there be
When man has
Taken all their ivory.
This giant big and strong
Without a legacy
Like many more the dinosaur
Who is now just history.
So you and I can but try
To show how we abour
The treatment of these giants
Without a legacy.
We know man's greed
Will not stop at killing these
The dolphins and the whales
And what about the forest trees
The earth is good with all it's green
And all the infinite features
But what good would all this be
Without these living creatures
No more the elephant
Will there be
When they have taken
All their ivory
AND DESTROYED THEIR LEGACY.
