Wild Life and the White Man

Wild life some guard with their last drop of blood, Save God should want to waste it with fierce flood: I have in mind white men, sometimes, funny, Quick to buy strange theatre with money… Arrest and imprisonment for poachers. They would no longer sell to keen butchers; Hard labor behind bars as teacher; When one is out Criticizing Preacher… Earth’s Richest Wild Life: Madagascar! Black wounds inflicted on her White Man’s Scar, White worries over wild life Extinction, Quite happy to, here, make a distinction… His posture lesson-rich revelation: One does not risk vague regeneration. Sure, he is watching Nigeria’s Game Reserve And could fight for what their members deserve: Neatly, his clamors for Animal Rights Killers’ daily intrusions mandate flights! Yet, the wildlife whites like, to some a knife: A giraffe at noon enjoying tall life Before dark losing it to lion’s strife: A pride of them killing both him and wife!
